I realized this weekend that I wanted to know where certain foods came from. Like ice cream, for example. So I started to research and draw my way through the history of how ice cream came to be. Although it's originally derivative of a frozen dessert in ancient Persia, it was also championed by Catherine De Medici. When she married a french duke in 1533, she brought Italian chefs with her who made flavored ices and sorbets--introducing ice cream in France.
