In the paragraph above, the time is given as the 11th century and 12th century.

1. Pattern: Process Analysis

As the name suggests, a process analysis involves an exposition on how a process is carried out, with an accompanying factor of the effect of various stages of the process on the other (Fowler and Aaron, 2002).  Generally, a process analysis would involve a central target or goal that needs to be accomplished. But to accomplish this, a doer is required to put in place several tasks or achieve a series of specific objectives, known as processes. In the paragraph above, it would be seen that a central goal of a meal needs to be achieved. But to achieve this effectively, there are specific tasks to fulfill such as sauté onion, stirring in flour, among other processes. The paragraph also rightly gives out an analysis of the process as it emphasizes that serving the meal hot is the best way to get results from it.
