My son can reheat something in the microwave. DOes that count? Actually my 12 year old daughter is a very good cook...but she needs to work on "clean up" part.
About two weeks ago, I got "the call." My 18 year old son, in colllege 600 miles away from home, and not what you'd call handy around the kitchen, called to ask, "Mom, how do you make that good pasta with the creamy sauce and chicken and broccoli but without the chicken? I was so SHOCKED, perhaps it was really his stunt double calling...He wanted to make it for his girlfriend, a vegetarian, in her apartment.
Ok. So I describe what he needs to buy, and what he needs to do, and yes, it was a deja vu moment, I could hear MYSELF (in college, 450 miles away from home) asking MY MOTHER How much? What do you mean, some What is a handful? HOW MUCH!!?? Exactly what he asked me, and sounded just as aggravated as I was back then...And of course, he periodically interrupted MY BUSY schedule, on a Sunday afternoon, for guidance and just general hand-holding...
The fettucine alfredo con broccoli cost him $47.00 to make--he needed to buy EVERYTHING. (The girlfriend did not have any supplies on hand, obviously not a cook).. But it was a success--she had two helpings!! My son reported that her roommates "were really impressed" with him...
So I guess if the baseball thing doesn't work out, he could get a job at "Olive Garden"...and perhaps not to bus tables...!

We just started a couple of months ago having our 15 yr old son(baseball) and 13 yr old daughter(softball) alternate cooking for the family on Wed each week(turned out to be the night we're around the most) and its been great. They pick the meal, cook and then clean up and have been excited about it each week so far. Give it a try!
My son has always been a cook. He never cleans up the mess.... He cooked for his GF this past weekend(valentines dinner) a full course meal. BBQ chicken (baked in oven)over rice, mixed veggies, salad and made butterfinger candy brownies. 
Plus he had candles, roses and rose petals all over his apartment!!! 
He also got her a gift from that store VS 
Heard from roomie that all the guys were mad b/c his GF told all their GF's what he did
