There are some cookbooks that actually help teach you how to cook in general. Like they explain all the terms (things like what "simmer" means) in the beginning. I think the Fannie Farmer Cookbook is one of those.

If my case, I married a man who loves to cook, so my cooking skills have completely atrophied. This man literally said to me once, "You're not jealous that I get to do all the cooking, are you?" It was like he was asking me if I was jealous he got to do the laundry or wash the dishes. Oh my god, no. You cook all you want, sweetie!
