1. Omelette. Though, arguably, omelettes are simple rather than easy. See Karl von Klausewitz On Omelettes.

2. Fresh pasta with fresh tomato and basil sauce.

3. Thai curries. Rather a lot of work but fairly idiot proof once you understand the basics. Rather the opposite of omelettes really, which require next to no work but do need a deft touch.

4. Beef daube. Idiotproof. Delicious.

5. Baked potatoes. Topped with whatever you like.
