AU: Somerset Academy

He sighed, "Well, your mother is having your favourite made tonight for dinner." he said.

Riccardo-oh my, I look forward to that *He licked his lips*

THat evening, Violetta was in the kitchen looking through the family cookbooks that her both her Nonna's had left for the cooks to use.

She found the family Recipe for Ciceri E Tria, the dish She noticed Riccardo eating at lunch. "He doubts MY cooking dose he? Well I'll be showing him he's WRONG and will be kissing my FEET."

For the next two weeks, Violetta made sure to practice the dish and presentation of when she had to give it to Riccardo. And as well made the items needed for the Festival, which was now tomorrow. She had ordered in all the needed ingredients, she was most keen though...to win her bet.

She was prepared as she'd ever be and the day was on


There were stalls through out the entrance, and many of the classrooms were decorated in celebration of the first festival


Riccardo-good to see everyone come together and make something look this good

Terry nodded, "Yeah! ANd we've got a good amount of lucky charms, poems to sell. The Ladies will love this stall." he grinned in a sneaky manner slightly.

"But I hear THe Vice and her Stall is all set with heir dishes..one of the desserts is Tiramisu." he groaned, "I love coffee."

Riccardo-interesting...should I go and put this to rest...or should I tease her a bit

"Put it to rest, no point wasting good food." he chuckled.

Meanwhile, Violetta and her girls were all in in cute Aprons to match the stall and all their food they were doing order, and the Tiramisu was in their little fridge in mini versions to sell easier. She was checking over the lot when she noticed Riccardo and Terry were coming.

"...So it's time." she had the dish in a warming container to keep it perfect.

Riccardo-good morning cooking club, I've come here to check and see how everything is progressing *he smiled seeing everyone*

The others giggled and blushed a little, but Violetta didn't. "All is set President Delano, But maybe you should taste test the items we have on offer?" she smirked.

Riccardo-of course *He smiled and sat down* what do you have for me?

"Ladies the two pasta dishes." They brought out in the small give out containers they were gonna use. They has a Lovely Lasagne and and a Spaghetti All Puttanesca Napoletani.

They also had a fine Minestroni Soup and Wedding soup as well as freshly made homemade bread to go with it.

As the Desserts were Limoncello Tart with Whipped cream, Chocolate Pannacotta with A Raspberry Sauce on top and of course the beautiful Tiramisu.

Terry blinked, "Wow."

Riccardo-perked an eyebrow* this all looks rather delicious, so who made what? *he smiled*

They pointed who made what. The others made the soups and the Lasagne and the Limoncello tart, but Violetta made the Spaghetti dish, the pannacotta and the Tiramisu. And they all helped make the bread.

The girls were all keen to hear what he thought on them. Violetta was not in the least worried.

Riccardo-began to eat and smiled as he did so, taking a bit to taste every bit of it, leaving Violetta for last

Terry had a taste as well, "Wow...this is all so good!" Terry loved any food, be he loved GREAT food more.

When he got to Violetta's dishes, she gave him a drink of water to cleanse his palate. "You know what is about to go down...." she said seriously, as she place the spaghetti dish to him first, she was gonna bring out the Bet dish in a short minute.

Riccardo-drank the water and smiled at the ladies* that was delicious *he then had a serious face and looked at Violetta* Shall we begin then?

"The Spaghetti Puttanesca first." she said, "Dai libri di ricette della mia famiglia." she added, speaking Italian so the girls don't know about the bet still. (From my Family's Recipe Books.)

Riccardo-picked up his fork and got a good bit of it and started to eat, taking his time to chew and get the taste*

She hated the waiting and the silence was giving as he tried it. 'Say something you jerk.' she thought to herself.

Riccardo-*he was stone faced* (THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD I'VE EVER EATEN HOLY SHIT!) ...it's average...not bad but...not great (MARRY ME FOR YOUR COOKING ALONE!)

She glared at him, "Average.....you little...." she tried not to growl at him, but was clearly insulted.

"Well you've obviously had DEAD tastebuds." she pulled the dish from him. " She gave him the water to wash his mouth. "Now...."she hen pulled out the dish she was was using with the Bet, then out of a warming bag, she got out a container and low and behold, it was his favourite dish.

"Ciceri E Tria." she said.

Riccardo-perked an eyebrow* (with what she can do...I want it...I want to eat it and sing it's praises) ok...lets see how it is

She looked at him intensely, KNOWING he had this in his lunch. 'You better praise bastard Or I'll refuse you the Tiramisu.' she thought to herself.

Riccardo-picked up his fork and got a nice sized portion* (My favorite dish) *he took the bite* (OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IT'S MELTING IN MY MOUTH! THE TEXTURE EVERY THINGS JUST FITS PERFECTLY!) hmm...it could pass for a commoner I guess

She felt like a ton of bricks fell on top of her and she growled. Snatching the dish from him, "Well since you deem then UNWORTHY, You can forget trying the Tiramisu, Signore Delano." she was truely pissed, not just with his comments but that she lost the fucking bet.

"Have a good day gentlemen." she growled, turning her back to him.

"What?! I Didn't get to tast-" Terry said, Violetta glared at Terry dangerously, which he paled seeing her furious expression.
