So most of my cookbooks are either text dense reference manuals or obnoxiously difficult like The French Laundry Cookbook, but here's a few that are relatively simple with excellent photography:
La Cocina - Cookbook from an organization in San Francisco that teaches low income people to successfully grow food businesses. Photos are incredible.
-
The Berkeley Bowl Cookbook - Excellent photos with a lot of obscure produce.
-
Ad Hoc at Home - Thomas Keller's family style recipes with wonderful photography.
-
Flour Water Salt Yeast - Focused on baking bread and making pizza, but a lot of step by step photos and some awesome pictures of the final product.
I agree that "How To Cook Everything" is a good reference guide for complete beginners and those with gaps in cooking knowledge.
It might be a bit over your head at this point, but if you truly want to understand cooking and what's happening when you do it try "On Food And Cooking" by Harold McGee.
For Asian you might like...
"Every Grain Of Rice" by Fuchsia Dunlop (or any of her books)
"Japanese Soul Cooking" by Tadashi Ono
"Ivan Ramen..." by Ivan Orkin (Good for ramen and other japanese-ish food.)
"Momofuku" by David Chang (Really good mix of general Asian flavors)
Other books that might interest you:
"Irish Pantry" by Noel McMeel
"The Lee Bros. Simple Fresh Southern" - Matt Lee and Ted Lee
"Real Cajun" by Donald Link
"Authentic Mexican" by Rick Bayless
"Fabio's Italian Kitchen" by Fabio Viviani
For Vegetarian try anything by Alice Waters or David Tanis.
Finding some recipes that taste good as well as being genuinely healthy can be an issue. One really good set in Australia was written by Sally James. This is a link for a book she wrote in the US: http://www.amazon.com/Escape-Yountville-Recipes-Health-Relaxation/dp/1580084923/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1407824232&sr=1-3&keywords=sally+james
One of my favorite cookbooks fire related or not: Firehouse Food
