I think you'll like this website. You can search recipes by age. They start off for the very young witha helper, and work their way up to teens.

start easy with the basics, pasta dishes and simple baked chicken and such. the easiest way to build you skills up is to look up simple to follow recipes, follow it once and then tweak it to your liking by adding different herbs, spices and flavorings. i started cooking around 14 and thats what i did. a cook beginners cook book is the Betty Crocker complete recipe collection, and How to cook everything by Mark bitman. both will give you basic cooking techniques and recipes and also lists of ways you can change them up to make them unique and your own. have fun!!
ok simple ideas that you can adapt to your taste would be something like pasta? you could make different sauces, such as simple tomato sauce with some tinned tomatos and herbs or somehting, or cheese? and add any veg you like. simple! um another one like that is jacket potatoes, add any topping you like!


you could also try makin your own pizzas, by either making ur own simple dough, or even putting ur topping on a pitta bread. u put some tomato puree and a sprinkle of basil on ur base, then pop it in the oven for about 6 mins, about 180degrees. then add cooked meat or something like that, anything else you fancy then sprinkle with cheese then back in the oven till the cheese is done!
A good idea is to check out Barnes and Noble sale sections that where I have gotten a lot of my cook books for very cheap. They always have a great variety of types of cook books too!
spaghetti


satay chicken
