With MrsT doing the cooking (with me standing by to offer advice/direction), I’ve suggested a few simple-yet-satisfying things for her to make to help build her confidence. That got me thinking…if you were guiding a beginner, what would your first few dishes be, in order to get them started...

Plates, dishes, bowls, ramekins... What do you prefer? Cheap and cheerful, doesn't matter if it's broken, best china or for Christmas and special occasions? One or two good plates and the rest cheap? Can it be washed in the dishwasher, or is it a by hand job only for the best? Let's see them...
