Beginning Gourmet Cooking Techniques | Tuesday, period 1

"Welcome, everybody," Hannibal greeted them. "I hope you all had interesting weekends with your potential children. This is our last week of class, and this is your exam." He gestured at the shop's setup, which included both computer stations and functional kitchens this time. "I've made available a wide variety of meats, produce, spices, and other materials. I want you each to cook a meal. It should have at least three dishes and include at least one drink to go with it.

"The more you use of what you've learned this semester, the higher your grade. You will get points for presentation, difficulty, number of dishes, how well the parts of the meal fit together, creativity, and proper cooking technique." Almost like a real class! Or a cooking contest.

"You may use whatever resources you like, including each other, the Internet, and me. But do keep in mind your time is limited."

He smiled "Any questions?"

"In a very small area and without much control," Hannibal said. "And I'm still not seeing any. I like to think that in this entire class you have at least learned how to operate the stove and oven."

"You pull the wiggly bits until the fire comes out," Dante said. "Well, for the stove, not the oven. If there's flames in the oven, you did something really wrong, or really right."

That actually made Hannibal smirk. "Very wrong, in this class. Perform arson on your own time."

"Aren't there deserts you can set on fire?" Dante wondered. "Shoulda done some of that."

Chances of that keep his attention after everything that had happened recently: slim, but probably higher.
