Who didn't grow up on Jell-O gelatin? Hospitals dished it out after your tonsils were removed, & Mom always stashed a box for dessert. Fast, easy, & cheap, Jell-O has reigned as America's Most Famous DessertÓ for more more than 100 years. But where & when & how did it all begin? Junk-food authority Carolyn Wyman answers these questions & many more in this painstakingly researched biography of the fruit-flavored dessert (& sometimes salad). With more than 200 photos, illustrations, & recipes, this book shares the sweet story of the primordial slime's success.
