Have them start by making a list of all the things they want to eat. Include everything they think they could ever want to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Then, sit down and go through it with them (I'd wager the list will be surprisingly short) and pick about a weeks worth of food from the easiest items to cook. Use this to make a plan of the things they're going to eat for a week, then shop for what they need to cook everything on this week's menu. Start out with the easiest things to cook, and get progressively more difficult as the week goes on.
Save the hardest meals they want for nights when you have the chance to go over and help them cook it, this will prevent a lot of wasted time and money. Also, pick days when they don't have to work so they can really take their time to make sure they do it right and won't feel rushed.
Once they get a few staples they can make themselves without difficulty, get them a cookbook to work through on their own.
As a final word of advice, food comes from farms - not factories. Most 'food products' that measure their expiration dates in years, rather than weeks or days, are barely more nutritious than the cardboard and cellophane they're packaged in.
