Ive lived with my granny all my life and she does the cooking, I know how to cook hamburgers..fry steak and scramble eggs. Im only kinda familiar with breakfast. I have a child but shes easy to please with cereal and chicken nuggets and things. But my bf is gonna want REAL home cooked meals. He comes from a west indian background and all his sisters cook very well. I dont know where to start! Any ideas???Any websites with step by step recipes???

Good for you and for your willingness and effort to learn and please someone else.
The Internet is an endless resource for recipes and ideas, of anything for that matter.
I'm not sure of the specific website(s) but do a search. That's what the Internet is for.

Learn to cook because eating out will destroy you financially. Also consider how he's going to feed you because I don't know where you're from but in Canada BOTH people of a couple contribute to the household chores. I do all the cooking unless I'm at work because my wife was never taught how by her mother. She's learning now.
By and large, cooking is just a matter of timing. If you enjoy music, you can cook. Basically, don't cook over too hot a stove, stay with it so it doesn't burn, and flip it often.

Buy a cook book with easier to follow recipes with few ingredients for new cooks. After you learn how to make a few basic things you will feel more confident to try a wider variety of items. Good luck and have fun!

you can try frozen dinners and if you go look up Rachel Ray's website she has many easy easy recipes that are quick and REALLY good. Maybe take some cooking classes and most bookstores have some really good cookbooks that are simple and are really hard to mess up. Or try Knor or Bertolli frozen pasta dinners, you just stick them in a pan and in 5 minutes their ready and delicious.

There is one Indian recipe blog dedicated to Vegetarians. You can find lots of dishes there. It is very friendly and it has pictures of all the recipes with simple & easy steps. I tried recipes from there. It works great for a new chef like me :)

The blog is updated daily or every alternate day.

Great website with easy recipes is Kraft.com. Also when you register they mail you a recipe book every three months, totally for free.
I would also really ask his sisters and your granny for easy recipes that they think he will like.
Good luck. - cooking is fun when you get into it.

Anybody can make man'n'cheese and hotdogs. Try getting one of the Rachel Ray cookbooks, her meals are pretty simple. Also get a Betty Crocker Cookbook. It's probably one of the better one's out there. It has pictures of different techniques and such.

Book a day with his sisters so they can show you some of his favorite dishes and how to make them. Ti si also an excellent opportunity for you to get to know his family and vice verse.
