Reading book

This chapter said that Italians were celebrated for their ices,and,in turn,they celebrated ices. In addition, poets and novelists wrote paeans to ices. And this chapter has a few Italian words. It is very interesting for me.
The most interesting part in this chapter was that vanilla was not as ubiquitous a flavor as it is now. It came to Europe,originally from Mexico in the sixteenth century.
When I read this book, I always want to eat ice creams and my interests became bigger. So I read more pages soon.

Of Sugar and Snow Chapter2

During seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, France set the style in upper-class European dining and in the making of ices and ice creams. The first book completely dedicated to ice cream was written by Frenchman, Monsieur Emy, and published in Paris in 1768. French cookbooks were being translated and distributed in England, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, and Italy.
Francois Massialot was one of the most influential French chefs of the time. He was born in 1660 and cooked for many of France's nobles. He had to contend with the realities of ice cream making. Nearly every ingredients that was needed presented a problem of one kind or another. The ice business was not yet widly established, so obtaining and storing ice was still expensive, in addition, salt was costly. Moreover, in an era, there was no refrigerator, so milk and cream often curdled and eggs weren't always fresh.
I was very surprised that the first book was written in France. I thought the first book was written in Italy, because Italy is famous for gelato. And now, it is very natural that there is refrigerator in each house, but in older days, that was not natural. However people living in that era tried to make ice creams. I was very surprised  that point.

Reading book

I started to read the book I chose. The title of the book is "Of Sugar and Snow~A History of Ice Cream Making~" I read the part of Early Ices and Iced Creams. At first of this parts, it was descrived some patterns of dinner in the seventeenth century. For example, the foods feasted on a dozen or more courses, possibly spit-roasted pork topped with a crown of lemons, fresh strawberries bathed in wine and served atop a mound of snow, lasagna sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, and dishes of fresh fennel,pears, grapes, and artichokes adorned with snow and flowers. Then according to this book, scientists had mastered how to freeze something, the ice cream began to make. Cooks had for many years been making the drinks and creams that were the precursors of ices and ice creams.
