I have a friend who is getting married. I asume she doesn't know the first thing about cooking. What cook books offer quick, easy, and great tasting food cooking?

I would recommend any cookbook by Rachel Ray. She writes 30 minute meals, and while they make take a beginner more than 30 minutes, they are still pretty quick and easy. I have several of her cookbooks. In her Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats, she shows how to change and/or adapt a recipe to make a completely different meal. I think this is a really good way to learn not only some pretty darn good recipes, but it also teaches you how to be a bit creative once you get those recipes down.
Another good one would be Rachael Ray Express Lane Meals. This book, in addition to giving recipes, helps you figure out how to make the most of food shopping.
I've given links to both, so you can read some reviews.

The Betty Crocker line of cookbooks are wonderful for beginners. Great to keep for years, too.

Get yourself the Fannie Farmer Cooking School Cookbook. Check out used bookstores or the library and get the oldest edition you can find. At first you might laugh because its really old-fashioned, but it will teach you how to do everything from scratch and turn you into the best cook. Seriously.

Cooking Light Annual Cookbooks are great.
The recipes use easy to find ingredients, and the steps are simple to follow. The recipes are creative and flavorful, but healthy at the same time.

The Joy of Cooking - it includes the most basic explanations of everything, not only really good recipes, too.
