It was a simple recipe, libum, and it was one of the first she had learned from Miss Talia when she was a child. Out in the sands, it was a simple treat, but it was a good one, and it really was one of those foods that could be made with very little by way of ingredients or materials. She remembered making it on the portable stove on more than one occasion growing up, but now that she had an oven in her kitchen, well, she could recreate it here. It might be a bit different, though, but she began to pull together the ingredients from her refrigerator that she needed - ricotta cheese and an egg. She had flour in a glass canister on the counter already, the jug of olive oil was at the ready, and the honey would come into play later. She did want to try the orange-blossom honey on it - that hive had been particularly active this year, and it would surely produce an interesting flavour to complement the sturdy, stodgy cake.
With the access to ingredients that she had now, it almost didn't make sense to repeat such a cake, but there was something about waxing nostalgic for it as she began to weigh out the ricotta on the scale...

"I know you had trouble with the scones last time, so we are going to try something a little easier today," Miss Talia told her young student. She was the only one getting cooking lessons, and while that might have been beneath her as an Equestrian, considering the number of servii her family had, her father's goal with these lessons was to at least try to interest the girl in a more domestic path. Sure, cooking wasn't strictly the province of the womenfolk, but running the household usually was, and that meant coming up with menus and discussing them with their cooks... rather than learning to fight and wrangle goats and sheep.
