A question for the gentlemen: would you have wanted your mother to teach you to cook? I have two sons who I think are now old enough to really get in there without too much adult supervision. My younger son (9)says cooking is for girls, but my older one(12) is enthusiastic.
I think if you can associate the idea of cooking with something boys are already attracted to, namely the idea of hunting, fishing, camping, etc, then cooking will be a natural extension of what they already love and will be much easier.
I've used this cookbook for years, and it's a lot of fun: Eat Like a Wild Man

Taking them fishing, then cooking up what they caught is always a very cool experience for boys (and men for that matter!).
