Recommend me a dish to cook. I've never cooked before and want to start. I'd like something that's not too complicated.

You could try a tortilla (Spanish omelette).
http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/to...ishomele_67957
You can add litterally any vegetable in it that you want along with the ingredients mentioned, I added broccolli in my first go but I'm sure courgettes, beans, sweet-corn or tomatoes will do as well. It's actually quite filling and delicious and really easy to make.
EDIT: I used this recipe actually, for a frittata - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1...heese-frittata
It's pretty much the same thingLast edited by nikita_atikin; 29-03-2011 at 13:05. -

Make a pasta bake. It's really, really easy, but just interesting enough to count as proper cooking.

When you say you've never cooked before, do you mean that literally or have you cooked in so far as you've taken sauces out of jars/had fry-ups etc?

Pasta is a great place to start. It's very easy. You can put what you like in the sauce as long as you like the flavours.

Ease yourself in gently but with blissful reward by merely constructing Krispie Cakes and Smartie Mallows:

OP - maybe homemade pizza, or soup? Pasta too, really easy. I usually just make a basic sauce then add it to pasta and cooked chicken strips, plus a bit of crumbled goat's cheese and salad.
