The menu was as follows: a toasted baguette with olive oil for dipping; spinach and prosciutto salad; roasted corn and bacon soup; "Cheesetastic" pasta; Lemon-Dijon chicken; and chocolate parfait for dessert.
In all, I think it took about an hour and a half to put everything together, not including marinating the chicken or dessert, which was concocted in about 2 minutes from ice cream, mini cookies and chocolate syrup.
For me, the highlights were the salad and chicken skewers. As far as Japanese bread goes, the baguette was delicious. The soup was tasty, and of course my dessert cup was practically licked clean. I was excited about the pasta, but I didn't feel like it lived up to its cheesetastic name. It might be better with a different cheese than the one we used.
I've never really cooked courses before, and it was fun to work on my presentation skills. There were a lot of dishes to clean up afterward!
