There are several really good ones that do include the basics and start
right at the beginning. "The Joy of Cooking" is often cited in this
way, but my pick for the most comprehensive for a new cook is "How to
Cook Everything" by Mark Bittman. Check it out (literally, at your
library).

Is that the guy who writes the "minimalist" column for the NY Times? If so,
his instructions are terrific.
