She does whatever she needs to do to survive (seriously), and assure that her company remains on top. Playing the caring, motherly Ice Cream Queen in the public while scheming, lying and drinking too much in private can only last so long, as the two worlds collide, forcing Lillian to take a good hard look at her life or risk losing it all. Until the mid-Victorian period, ice cream had been an expensive delicacy, because ice was hard to come by. Only those wealthy enough to own ice houses—storage structures with cool, underground chambers—were able to enjoy frozen dishes year-round. In the mid-19th century, England began importing ice from the United States and Norway, making the chilly commodity more accessible to the upper-middle classes. A wider demographic could now prepare ice cream at home, and Marshall was ready to capitalize on the opportunity. Her books catered to moderately wealthy housewives, who did not boast the luxury of a large kitchen staff, but still wanted to transform their desserts into the striking displays that Victorian fashions demanded. Though she was one of the most celebrated cooks of her time and one of the foremost cookery writers of the Victorian age, Marshall rapidly faded into obscurity after her death and was largely forgotten until she once more achieved renown in the late twentieth century. Technology invented or conceptualised by Marshall, including her ice cream freezer and the idea of creating ice cream with the use of liquid nitrogen, have since become repopularised.

It is unknown when and where Marshall first learned to cook; scant later writings allude to her having learnt from chefs in England, France and Austria. She began her career in 1883 through the founding of the Marshall's School of Cookery, which taught high-end English and French cuisine and grew to be a renowned culinary school. Marshall wrote four well-received cookbooks, two of which were devoted to ice cream and other desserts. Together with her husband Alfred, Marshall operated a variety of different businesses. From 1886 onwards she published her own magazine, The Table, which included weekly recipes and at times articles written by Marshall on various topics, both serious and frivolous. Marshall had an intense interest in technology; she was an early adopter of new technologies, frequently wrote about her own predictions of the future, and invented several new appliances. I loved the author’s note: “In my daily life, I’m generally obsessed with three things: “Sex, New York City, and Ice Cream”. (choosing the latter two) for her masterpiece. I enjoyed “A Conversation with Susan Jane Gilman” at the end of the book, sharing of her inspiration, thoughts, and process for the writing of this special story, which offers readers a more personal and real connection with the author and her characters---her passion is truly reflective through her writing!

My major problem with this book is the main character: Malka Treynovsky (or Lillian Dunkle if you prefer). She’s mean, defensive, has substance abuse and mental health problems, and is just mean. Look, I get that she overcome impossible odds to be a successful millionaire and on that ascent she never received her proper dues because of her gender. She started from nothing, had everything, still had everything and yet nothing by the end. It’s actually quite heartbreaking. Let’s break this down further. You'll want to fill your freezer with your favorite ice cream before starting this book. It's a rags to riches story about a Russian Jewish immigrant girl, Malka Treynovsky, who is transformed to a successful Ice Cream Queen, Lillian Dunkle. The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

If I’d been crippled by, say, a rag man or a coal vendor, I would never become Lillian Dunkle, as the world knows her today,” Lillian says. “Certainly, I would never have become a legend at all.” This poor, unattractive, smart, yet sarcastic and crippling Malka soaks up everything from Catholicism, and embraces the family business, while at the same time excels at school, and her life begins to change drastically for the better. Fueled by her grief and abandonment, she begins to redefine herself as Lillian, The Ice Cream Queen of America. (Lillian Dunkle) Spanning from the early 1900's into the 1980's, Gilman holds no punches regarding the description of the times and hardships faced by immigrants. Brilliantly painted, we understand the misery suffered by those trying to eke by, understanding their drive to succeed and thrive. Hardships faced by many, feast or famine, rise or fall, challenges faced by all. Cloake, Felicity (9 June 2021).

Marshall's Book of Cookery was published on 12 May 1888. Well-planned, well-written and practically arranged, [8] the book was an enormous success, selling over 60,000 copies and being published in fifteen editions. [1] Book of Cookery cemented Marshall's reputation among the prominent cooks of England. [8] In Book of Cookery, Marshall mentioned putting ice cream in an edible cone, the earliest known reference in English to ice cream cones. [4] [5] [6] [12] Her cone, which she called a "cornet", was made from ground almonds and might have been the first portable and edible ice cream cone. [3] Marshall's cornet bore little resemblance to its modern counterpart and was intended to be eaten with utensils [13] but Marshall is accordingly frequently considered to be the inventor of the modern ice cream cone. [3] [4] [14] [15] [16]The Marshall's School of Cookery mainly taught a mixture of high-end English and French cuisine [9] and swiftly became one of only two major cookery schools in the city, [5] alongside The National Training School Of Cookery. [8] A year into the school's operation, Marshall was lecturing classes of up to 40 students five to six times a week [6] and within a few years the school reportedly had nearly 2,000 students, lectured in cooking by prominent specialists. [3] Among the lectures offered at the school were lessons in curry-making, taught by an English colonel who had once served in India [10] and a class in French high-end cuisine taught by a Le Cordon Bleu graduate. [1] The couple also operated a business involving the creation and retail of cooking equipment, [3] [5] an agency that supplied domestic staff, as well as a food shop that sold flavorings, spices and syrups. [3] Lillian, the undisputed star of the first novel by Gilman (“Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress”), is a cheerfully unreliable narrator who never lets the truth get in the way of her business instincts. For example, her most-quoted story about coming to America from Russia is seeing the Statue of Liberty, to which she says she prayed to every night for months. The only trouble is: it didn’t happen. The only thing she actually remembers about New York Harbor is the man next to her crying and her sister losing her hat. The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street is, according to creator Susan Jane Gilman, a cross between “Scarlett O’Hara and Leona Helmsley,” with the former’s survival instincts and the latter’s shopping habits.

When we see something in the news about a rich business person taking a fall, we are rarely sympathetic. Author Susan Jane Gilman lets Lillian show us her side of the story. This book is funny, extremely detailed, and provides a great heroine. Lillian Dunkle is in legal hot water but she still The Ice Cream Queen. And don't you forget it, darlings!

Ever since my arrest at NBC, and my conviction for tax evasion, it has become open season on Lillian Dunkle. Never mind that the U.S. embassy was bombed in Beirut. Or that President Reagan has announced he's deploying a missile shield in outer space. Some weasel-faced journalists have nothing more important to do, it seems, than to dig up dirt about me." But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in. About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”: Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

In the summer of 1888, Marshall went on a tour to the United States. Her lecture received a positive review in the Philadelphia Bulletin but she did not achieve the same level of acclaim in America as she had in England. [1] Marshall is recorded to have provided Christmas dinners for the "Hungry Poor" in Stepney and Poplar in London in 1889. She also provided warm soup to the poor throughout the winter of that year.

But with age — for many of us a anyway — food cravings and desires for colorful sprinkles and other sweet treats….are a thing of the past — or at least substantially diminished. Unfortunately I didn't feel whole-heartedly engaged in the storyline. As Lillian goes from a likeable young girl to the matriarch of her family's booming business I tended to like her less and less and she became someone I hardly recognized. Some of her speech, specifically when she referred to people as 'darlings' and bringing her small dog everywhere she went, reminded me of the infamous Zsa Zsa Gabor. But her incessant mean streak had a strong Leona Helmsley (the original 'Queen of Mean') feel to it. This combination of overly exaggerated arrogance and nastiness got old fast and didn't endear her to me in the least.
