A definitive, joyful cookbook of new-fangled gelatin recipes for cooks who want to explore this trendy throwback ingredient.

Gelatin is back and exploding on the culinary scene. According to two-time Emmy winning producer Peter DiMario, whose pandemic hobby took him deep into gelatin cooking creativity, it’s time to take the gelatin explosion to its heights. In Jiggle!, he and food veteran coauthor Judith Choate feature recipes that are sleek, fun, and modern but not pretentious. Forgotten are the pedestrian jelly molds of the past. Jiggle! is a well-rounded book of information and recipes taking a new look at working with that once stodgy foodstuff, gelatin. 

Jiggle! takes us on a colorful, wobble-filled adventure in 50 recipes, ranging from stunning desserts (like Cherries and Cream; Orange Crème Jiggly Dream; and Gimmie S'more Wiggle), cocktails and other drinks (Boozy Birch Beer Float, Bloody Mary Brunch Shot, and Jiggly Bellini), to savory dishes (My Funny Galantine and Goats ‘n’ Beets). 

Rounded out with beautiful color photography, gelatin becomes delicious, playful, edible modern art.
