I recently got "The Silver Spoon" and I absolutely love it! Some say it's the Italian couterpart of "The Joy of Cooking", which is the bible of American cuisine.
I'm Chinese and I gotta say between the 1.3 billion of us, we haven't been able to sit down together to agree on a good cookbook like those. I use (Mrs. Fong) Lisa Yam's collection. I strongly recommend them. They all come in both Chinese and English with pictures for each dish, some popular ones even come with Japanese, Korean or Tagalog.
Which is the best cookbook for your cuisine? I wish to find a good cookbook for Japanese, Indian, Mexican... Any suggestions?

Check out Paul Prudhomme's "Louisiana Kitchen." Great gumbo's, grilled fish, shrimp and definitely try the Crab Avery. Oooh Oiu, Baby.

From a quick peek at my bookcases, I guess I have mostly what you'd call American cuisine. Which of course is a blend of tons of other cuisines. Betty Crocker and BH&G are my favorite standbys. However, if you can get your hands on an old church or community cookbook, there are good old German recipes and recipes from the heartland. I love those because they're comfort food, terrible for you, but it's the love that went into them. So definitely not heart-healthy, but those recipes made communities go 'round.

i do not know about special cuisines, but for me the top cookbooks are the series of Jamie Oliver's book. They have choices of many cuisines, in a simpler, quicker and more modern style. Many innovations too.

For Indian I'd recommend Madhur Jaffrey, she's pretty reliable. Also, this site is good;

For my own nationality's cuisine ( I'm British ) I would recommend Fergus Henderson's book Nose to Tail Eating.
