Sounds like a good reason for NOT encouraging her.

May I offer a suggestion? Coeurs d'Artichauts aux Sauce d'Aioli (I just made that name up!)
Couple of large cans of Artichoke Hearts (you'll need 3-4 pieces / person) - drain and dry off, put in a small casserole ready to warm through.
Make a vegetable stock (a real one is best, but a powder cube would do fine) and reduce down to about 125 mls (for 8). Once the stock has cooled slightly, whack in some creme fraiche and whisk up. Return to the heat and bring up to near boiling point. Add some pureed garlic to taste + seasoning + chopped parsley.
Warm the artichoke hearts in the oven and arrange on individual heatproof dishes. Pour over the sauce and sprinkle some grated cheese (anything will do) on top. In to a medium oven (say 180C) for 10 mins, then under the grill until nicely brown on top.
You can do most of the prep in advance, right up to putting the dishes in the oven. Looks & tastes good and really easy.

Hi 47
I am going to try your chicken/dijon/orange sauce recipe today followed by the choc chip cookie recipe to follow.
Will let you know how it went
Gaurdian i will use your artichoke starter.
Must say i've never cooked so much since coming to france, and really enjoy trying out all the different recipes.
