How much do you know already? Peg Bracken's "The I Hate to Cook Book" is great for the absolute beginner. I was never able to get into Joy of Cooking; I used Jeff Smith's "Frugal Gourmet" series, mostly, to learn midrange stuff. If you can find Steven Raichlen's "Taste of the Mountains Cooking School Cookbook" anywhere, it's excellent.

This. It's like telling someone to learn to drive by studying physics. "Ooooh, the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is what makes you move and/or stop!"
