It's not that she's completely unwilling, so much as she's not willing to just throw herself in yet. She's been tricked too many times, she's been fooled into giving over pieces of herself she never had before, she's been convinced to relax and then dumped on her face.
So she doesn't seriously entertain learning to bake from anyone, but he compliments her cooking and she chuckles as she pushes up to her feet and crosses back to the kitchen.
"Let me pack some of this up for you to take with," she says, not a question, but a gift. It would have meant more, back home. "We'll ease you into the spice, just to be safe." And then she glances over and smiles; it's novel, having someone else offer to cook her anything, even if it's not the most solid endorsement or offer she's ever heard.

"I'd eat it," she promises. "I'd like that."
