I love to read (thus the book blog), and I love to eat (thus my other blog with lots of recipes). It's not often that literature combines these two loves. However, that is exactly what author Anthony Capella does. He writes foodie novels. They aren't just novels that mention food, or cookbooks that mention stories. They are beautiful novels that are carefully crafted to make food an integral part of the novel. There is always an intense relationship with food. If you were to remove all of the parts related to food, then the little bits of the novel left just wouldn't make sense.
Capella's newest novel, "The Empress of Ice Cream" tells the story of an ice cream maker. Not just an ice cream maker, but the first true maker of ice cream and a master of frozen desserts. It spans from Italy to France to England in the days of King Louis the 14th (the "Sun King"). It is an interesting read with a good mix of history and invention, characters and food.
