I've been teaching myself to cook the past year or so; browsing recipes online (Allrecipes is my favorite) has given me much inspiration and has greatly expanded my menu. My biggest piece of advice - tell them to keep basics in the pantry. It sucks having to run to the store for a can of chicken broth, a spice, or the like. I also agree with Hektore - planning a menu prior to shopping is the way to go. I used to wander the aisles aimlessly, spend a bunch of money, and come home with nothing to cook. Planning in advance is essential.
