I would recommend Rouxbe cooking school and CIA Knife Skills. You can easily find copies of both on torrent sites and should give you a good basic level of proficiency. From there you will be able to expand into whatever area you want and be able to do so easily.

if you want to be lazy just choose which recipies you like the most and do them. Start by learnig the spices so you can add them or remove them as you see fit.
For cutting just learn how to do: meripoix, brunoise, julien and basonet.
From then you can research about how to use.the doferent pans and pots, diferences between similar cooking techniques like how to make a stew or a hotpot.
The back of food boxes where they tell you how to add extra stuff to it and make it a meal

Do you like to eat?
Then acquire "The Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child.
I like using Allrecipes. You can search by ingredients that you have, it's pretty nifty.
