CUCINA



Ahh! You have wandered into my kitchens! My name is Valentius, and I am the cook here at the Villa Didius! I hope that you intend to stay for dinner, as I am preparing Pullus Fusilis (Chicken With Liquid Filling) as one of the courses.
Most of the ingredients that I use here are grown at the Villa, so you will be sampling the best that we have!
I will be serving dinner in the Triclinium later, so when you get hungry, just head back there, and relax on the couches whilst the servants serve you.

If you are interested in what I am cooking, let me give you the recipe:

PULLUS FUSILIS (Chicken With Liquid Filling)

1 fresh chicken (approx. 1-1.5kg)
