Baking: Sweet and Savory | Monday, 3rd period

"Good morning," Hannibal said when everybody had arrived. "My apologies for last week; I was rather under the weather. This week, we'll be working on something simple and from someplace other than Europe, as requested." He smiled and nodded at the students who'd requested those things.

"Mochi is a traditional Japanese food - it can be a snack on its own, or it can be combined with other things. I have a number of examples here. It has only a few ingredients, and is fairly simple to start, though you do need to be precise and careful."

He pulled up the recipe on one wall and went over it with them. "You may make the plain version, or dress it up however you like. Please feel free to ask me questions if you have them."

"Much tastier, unless something is very wrong," Hannibal agreed. "And properly decorated food is a pleasure to eat. Though perhaps a bit decadent for your sisters." He'd gathered they weren't much for extraneous pleasures.

"I'm fairly certain everything I've ever learned to make in your classes would have been too decadent for them," Cosette admitted with a laugh. "But they are nuns, after all. There's no reason the rest of us can't enjoy food that's good and nice to look at."

Hannibal laughed, too. "Very true. It just leaves more for us."
