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.
