coquus, -i m. cook



Roman Lunch 1

It was a really fun experience making this meal, but the ingredients were pretty expensive, so I don't think I'll be going too wild with the dinner. The pyramid cakes were quite hard to shape as the dough was very sticky, but they were sweet and crispy, and were perfect as a starter snack. The bread was really delicious, but I didn't follow the recipe exactly as I got impatient waiting for the dough to rise. The texture was moist and dense, and the cheese layers worked well. The pate was probably the best. It tasted smooth and refreshing, and I'll definitely be making that again. The sesame biscuits were the most difficult to make as the honey was really difficult to work with, but they were also quite nice. I didn't get around to the honey water, but I bought a 'fresh and fruity' rose, which went perfectly with the meal. I had a really good time preparing everything, and my guests were suitably impressed.
