Cena Romana

As an assignment for students, have them read through the collections of recipes of various websites. Then, have them read the "Roman Food Presentation" website, taking note of the types of recipes used for each course in a Roman cena. Have each student create a menu for his/her own Roman cena. Also, they may look at examples of triclinia from the Ancient Roman Food website (www.geocities.com/lcook07/RomanFood.html), and draw their own decorations for their triclinium for their banquet.
