I'm living by myself in February and need a cookbook of basic, quick meals so I don't eat frozen dinners every night! One with PICTURES would be best! I have Rachael Ray's 30 min meals book, but it doesn't have pictures so I don't know what the names of most of the foods mean so it's too confusing for me! haha.

Better Homes & Gardens: The New Cook Book
It's is a binder, lots of photos, easy directions, and has all the basics PLUS more creative stuff. I use it all the time when I'm not sure what to do or how to make something!

I love just going to the food network website. There are usually pictures and the recipes are rated for their difficulty and time. They are usually broken down with a prep time and a cook time and I know that I will always need more prep time because I am not a very fast or accurate slicer or dicer. Either way it gives me an idea of what I am coooking looks like, how long it will take and sometimes there is a little helpful hint that I can use for other things.

The Joy of Cooking is the bible to any would-be chef. My grandma still uses hers from the 1920's.
I have a newer 2005 copy and still there are no pictures. But it does have a few hundred recipes for all skill levels.

better homes and gardens has an excellent cookbook also i like the joy of cooking . if i ever need to look up how to do something i go to my joy of cooking and look it up. or if i need to find something to go with something a herb or spice i can always look it up in the joy of cooking so i would say the joy of cooking would be a good starter cookbook

You may consider the newest edition of The Joy of Cooking. While many of the techniques are simple, there are an abundance of impressive basic ideas.
