Have you ever wondered what dessert tasted like hundreds of years ago? Grab your whisk and travel through time to taste a treat that has brought families together for generations. In this fascinating journey, you will meet four different families living in four different centuries. In 1710, a girl in England beats cream with a bundle of twigs. A hundred years later, a girl in South Carolina prepares the exact same treat. Fast forward to 1910 in Boston, and finally to a modern-day kitchen in San Diego, where a boy and his father whip up the very same recipe. Watch closely as the kitchens, tools, and daily lives change over four hundred years, even while the delicious blackberry fool stays perfectly sweet. You will even find a real recipe at the end so you can make this historic dessert in your own kitchen!
