How about making a pizza. Take him to the store, buy a bag of pre-made
dough and whatever sauce, meat, and veggies he likes. Teach him how to
stretch and form the pizza crust and build his own pizza. If he likes
that, teach him how to make the dough himself next time, then teach him
how to make the sauce from scratch, etc. Show him how the dough can
also make rolls, or a smal bread. Show him how the same sauce can be
used for pasta another day.

How about puddings, first from a mix, next time maybe bread or rice
pudding.

Building a salad is fun to do, maybe making his own dressing. I made a
really good one last week, real easy recipe:

Maple-Mustard Vinaigrette

1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons spicy brown mustard
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
Salt & pepper

Mix and refrigerate

Then show him how his home made dressings can be used to marinate meat
also. I used the above recipe as a chicken marinade, with a little
added Balsamic vinegar added, it was great cooked on the George Forman
grill.

Teach him about mac and cheese, or pancakes
