I don't own it, but my buddy has The Best Simple Recipes from America's Test Kitchen and I love reading through it.

There are plenty of good things you could make that aren't hard. Think of something he would like, find a highly rated recipe that you can read through and understand. If you can understand it, (know what the words are and have the tools listed) you can make it.
Practice the recipe at least once. Maybe it will go well and you won't have a problem. For example, it is really easy to make pasta. You put it in boiling water and set a timer. Crock pot/slow cooker recipes are usually really easy but can be really tasty.
If it doesn't come out well, practice again. If you really can't do it, order something for take out at a nice restaurant.
I would recommend America's Test Kitchen or Cook's Illustrated recipes. They are tested to be fool-proof. If you can find a book of "easy", "quick" or "simple" recipes from either of these, you should be all set.
Other signs of easy, successful recipes or meal plans is to use good, in-season vegetables. For example, you could make fajitas. If you can cook the meat well (maybe in a crock pot) all you need to add is a sauce from the store, and a bunch of good vegetables, cheese, that sort of thing. Not a lot of cooking involved but one of my favorite meals.
Just make it ahead of time (secretly) to make sure it will come out ok. Cooking is not hard.
Edit: Lobster is easy to overcook. That might be something for takeout if you specifically/only want lobster.
This is our favorite cookbook. All the meals are easy to make, delicious, and take only about 30 minutes.

I also like the recipes on the womens day website. Every month they put out a whole month's worth of recipes.
