Dolce Vita


Sift the flour, heat the milk
Do take care that it’s not spilt
Chop the nuts, grate the cheese
Just a pinch of nutmeg please
Warm the oil, melt the butter
Please be careful of the splutter
Grill the pancakes, fry the bacon
This is a feast we are creatin’!

Self-raising flour, a pinch of salt
Some arrowroot, a little malt
Beat the eggs, grease the tin
Put a teaspoon of vanilla in
Dice the onion, shell the peas
The cake should come out of the pan with ease
Skin the kiwi, pit the cherries
Garnish with a few strawberries

Sunflower, olive or rape seed oil
Wrap the tongue in vented foil
Smoke the sausage, let them hang
Fold chopped hazels into meringue
Melt the chocolate, stew the pear
Prepare the Brie and Camembert
A cup of honey, whip the cream
This desert will be a dream!

Warm the plates, decant the wine
Pluck the grapes fresh from the vine
Choose your condiments, a dollop of mustard
Don’t forget to chill the custard
Fold the napkins, set the china
Indirect light will be much kinder
Draw the curtains, cut the glare
Ah, life is wonderful.  Savoir-faire !
