Hmm, not exotic, but French? How about Toast? What about Fries? :-)

This one really taxes my mind.. .hmm. .how about crepes stuffed with cheese,
lightly cooked asparagus and ham covered with a bechemel sauce? And baked
in the oven? Too hard? Try my recipe for salade nicoise, then you just
have to assemble things and throw them together and serve with a french
bread. Oh yes, you have to cook the new potatoes, thats all. The whole
recipe is in my response to whats good for a summer meal item.

I don't believe that there are any that are exotic that are also easy to make.

Get a copy of _The Sixty Minute Gourmet_. As the title implies, you
can make all of these dishes in an hour, and many of them are derived
from French dishes. The author is Pierre Franey.

The simplest French dish I can think of, which also happens to be
one of my favorites, is to take a fresh fish, and cook it in butter.
Over a low heat, for perhaps 10 minutes on a side. You can add fresh
herbs, like basil, or tarragon, or perhaps mushrooms. Simple, yet
wonderful.
A good chef to learn from in books is Paul Beaucouse. The name
is prnounced bow-KUSE; I might have gotten the spelling wrong. Anyway,
he has lots of books in the US.

What sort of fish do you recommend? Scaled, fillet'd, whole-head-and
all, etc? Any particular species?

I'll buy the Lutefisk so I can watch you eat in, at a Grex potluck.
People will want to bring their own gasmasks however.
For the fish dish, trout is wonderful, as is bass.

Yes, but what vintage of wine shall I bring. (I don't drink myself, and
when I do it's in small ammounts.)
