Default Suggestions please

All being well and going properly, on Friday I should be getting one of these delivered and installed.

It has been nearly 3 years since I've had a cooker and I have never used gas at all so it could prove quite interesting (read: dangerous)

What I'm after is any "christening" meal suggestions. Something nice a easy please

Also, having never owned a new cooker before is there anything that I should do before cooking in it/with it for the first time? If it gets installed Friday will I be able to use it Friday evening?

Awww how exciting. Can't wait til I eventually get a new oven. Congratulations on choosing gas too I'd just turn on the oven for an hour or so before you put anything in it to burn off any residue of cleaning stuff on the inside.

How about a nice, simple roast chicken with various veg and roasties?

If I honest I have never cooked more that a breast of chicken and have only used frozen roast potatoes before

Roast chicken is easy peasy and so are roasties. They just sound a bit scary to cook.

Pasta bake is also dead easy, good suggestion Matt. Oh and I haven't forgotten I need to scan those recipes in for you btw

A proper roast is a good idea (and remarkably easy ).

Alternatively, how about a toad in the hole, or stuffed marrow, or a lemon meringue, or baked alaska
