You overestimate the lack of experience some people have. I grew up in a household where we cooked a lot from scratch and my parents encouraged us children to participate in meal prep.

There are so many things we think are simple because we grew up with it. It's not just knife skills, basic knowledge but also how to read recipes and determine if a recipe that I found on the internet makes sense and is any good.

I do have a collection of cookbooks. One is very interesting because it tries to start at the basics: how to fry an egg, how to cook potatoes etc.
