I have or have read most of the other mentioned books and I agree none are perfectly suited to be the single key resource to truly teach a novice cook.
My copy of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat should arrive today and I'm looking forward to diving in.
No! No! Now I'll be trying to catch up with you on two (actually three) books!
Edited to add:. Try not to miss the subtle humour in the SFAH book. Like the diagram showing you how to cut a carrot. Big dice, small dice, no dice! If my memory is correct.
