M* and his fellow students had class last Sunday, so a few of the spouses/partners had a cooking day. The idea was to teach others how to prepare a dish representative of ones country (Brazil, Japan, Netherlands, Germany, USA). My sister recommended making chili--easy to prepare, can be made vegetarian, liked by most people. Others prepared German apple cake, Korean sushi, seasoned rice in bean curd, miso soup and strawberries coated in evaporated milk then dipped in chocolate. Time ran out, so Tialda didn't get to make her Dutch cookies/biscuits made with a heavenly smelling Dutch spice blend called Speculaaskruiden (ground cinnamon, allspice, powdered ginger, ground mace, ground cloves, ground coriander, ground nutmeg, ground cardamon, ground aniseed).
