Not a Cake!

Sweets

Chaud-frois that I made at college. It’s an old fashioned way of presenting things (mainly meat and fish) for buffets. The item is cooked, then covered in a bechamel that has gelatin added. The decorations are added, made from aubergine, peppers and cucumber skins. They’re then covered in aspic jelly!
