AIBU to want to teach my sons to cook

Mum of 3 boys- eldest 2 (15,10) will do as little as humanly possible in the kitchen, even if they are starving. Youngest (8) is a star, likes to chop, stir, toast etc - I could ask him to do a cold tea for the family and he'd just get on with it.
So I know it's very very unreasonable to let this continue with the older 2, I want to send them off with great skills in the kitchen... so I've decided this year is the year they will learn.

I want to teach them some basics and a few easy meals they can do for themselves... but I don't know where to start!!! Ideas please for meals,but also for motivating them and for how to not make it a chore...

My MIL proudly states she thought it was unreasonable to teach boys to cook. Women's work and all. Teach them to cook to avoid being the subject of future mumsnet MIL posts!
