Nov. 23rd, 2008 05:25 pmI'm back doing character development via food. This is part of the big catch-up for the time I lost this year.
It struck me that I only have a few dishes in my repertoire that reflect certain types of cooking. What would you serve at a dinner party if you were 60 and terribly up with cooking trends? And what would you serve at a dinner party (I already have a roast and veg meal, so can't repeat it) if you were 75 and rather traditional Anglo-Australian, but still a keen and good cook? And why was the third character, who has a difficult and strange past, the only one I found easy to design food for?
I need to test recipes for the third character, because they're up to six hundred years old, so if anyone has a yearning to try amazing dishes from Spain and Greece, just say.
This isn't my normal recipe testing. I think we nearly have a theme for the Conflux banquet, and so I have to get my novel's cooking sorted before that begins. It should have been sorted months ago, but I was too sick. I'm still not well, but it's so nice to be playing with my food again!
