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."

"Very like the Japanese version, then," Hannibal said with a nod. "We can adapt one of these, and you can tell me if anything needs to be changed to taste the way you remember; how does that sound?"

"Works," Kathy said, nodding. "I can write down mine, too, if that will help?"

"It would," Hannibal answered. He switched his tablet to a text app and set it in front of her. "Why don't you get started on that while I check the others, and I'll be back."

Kathy nodded and began tapping away at Dr. Lecter's tablet, face scrunched slightly as she remembered the proportions. Fortunately, odds were good that he knew metric; Kathy's parents had only grudgingly adapted to Imperial after they'd immigrated to America. Kathy could do either, but translating from one to the other took a bit of concentration.

Hannibal had used metric most of his life, so yes.

He did a round of checking everybody else, then came back to Kathy and looked at the recipe. "Very good. Let's start here, then."
