There are cookbooks written for college students, and most of the ones
I've seen are very, very basic. Not _quite_ at the level of explaining
what teabags, kettles, and stoves are and defining "boiling" -- but
close to that. Chances are that your college's bookstore has some of
these cookbooks.

Now, this is going to sound like a joke; but I'm dead serious:
Cookbooks for children are less basic than cookbooks for college
students. However, they have better pictures.
