What meals do your preteens cook?

DD's been cooking once a week for the family, so far her repertoire includes omlettes with salad + potatoes, pasta with tomato based sauce, jacket spuds with beans/cheese.

I'd like to suggest some new options - ideally easy/cheap basics as she's still quite slow and so anything more complex will take her all afternoon, & don't want to put her off. Also thinking that when she leaves home a collection of things she can cook quickly & are cheap would be a good starting point.

What do other people's dc make in the way of meals?

My 12 year old baked and decorated her own birthday cake on Friday and last night made pizzas from scratch with her friends.

Plan for tonight is a lesson in making (pea & ham) risotto - realised it's another dead easy meal & it's also one of dd's favourites, so a good one to learn.
