"Four Centuries, Four Families, One Delicious Treat"
What a creative, well-researched book!
The reader witnesses how the making of one dessert transforms with time. The recipe is the same but how the families obtain the ingredients and the tools used to make the dessert change with time.
Other changes to observe: who makes the dessert (for 300 years it was the woman/daughter but the last scene was a father/son) and the embracing of different cultures (the last family to sit down to enjoy the dessert included many different nationalities and different ages).
The end papers were colored with actual blackberry juice!!!
Recipe for the "fine dessert" included in the back.
Strategies: compare/contrast (text structure), rereading
**Highly recommend.**
