I picked up "How to Boil Water: for my husband and we both use it as it is instructive without being pedantic, with lots of photos and simple but delicious recipes for basics.
Get one really exhaustive book on baking if you don't bake a lot but are still interested. Culinary textbooks are excellent finds as well.
Make soups! Making stock and then experimenting with whatever is in the cabinet is one of the best ways to learn to trust your instincts and your taste buds.
