Was Dr. Lecter really cooking human flesh? - A Man Teaching his Daughter how to Cook Scrambled Eggs

In the TV-series Hannibal in one of the episodes we see Dr. Lecter killing a man and there are many incidents throughout the season about Hannibal killing people. But I didn't understand or could not see any reference about Dr. Lecter cooking them. All scenes suggested that he may be cooking a human flesh.

There were some mild humor by Dr. Lecter saying "all are non-vegetarian" or something, I couldn't recall.

Yes he is cooking human flesh. You see it at various points in the show. He has a Rolodex of whose body parts he has kept in his freezer, and chooses certain ones on account of his current mood and dish he is creating. I believe it's shown the most in episode 7 "Sorbet". enter image description hereenter image description here

Does will know Hannibal is a cannibal?

At this point Will knows, but he is too sick and too delusional to figure it out, so his mind is revealing it to him through the visions of the Shrike-Stag.
