If you want to cook something a little more special then get hold of a recipe. I am not suggesting that you start with high end French cuisine although even that is not as difficult as they would like you to believe.

The most important thing is that you practice before preparing a meal for friends. That way you find out about any pitfalls that don't come out on the recipe such as some ingredients taking longer to cook than others. The first secret of cooking is to get everything ready at the same time.
I always used to try meals out on my family first it's much easier to take any criticism from them and it gives you a great deal more confidence if they like the meal. I have found that having a number of dishes that I can cook without even opening a book makes life a lot easier and gives you the ability to experiment with more difficult menus.
