The Complete Baking Cookbook: 350 Recipes from Cookies and Cakes to Muffins and Pies
A good resource for a wide range of nothing-too-fancy baked goods from Candied Ginger Cookies to Coffee Rum Brownies to Chocolate Pecan Bourbon Pie. I tried the Lemon Souffle Cheesecake (p 171), mostly because the baker/author said it was inspired by a lemon cheesecake he had at Ciudad in Los Angeles. It was perfect for Spring!

Fast Food Fix offers healthier (but not necessarily healthy - it's still a burger, after all) substitutes for brand name burgers, milkshakes, fries and pizza.The goal is to "cut fat and calories...without affecting taste," which means the book is really meant for people who really like the TASTE of fast food and tend to eat it often because they choose to. For them, the book will help them to decrease the (non) nutritional impact of always eating fast food. However, for people who turn to fast food for pure convenience, creating fast foods at home is way too much trouble.

Though the recipes are not particularly special, the real value in this book is the all of the information about each of the types of grains from amaranth to quinoa to...the most common, whole wheat. There is nutritional information, a little bit of history, and basic cooking techniques that are more useful lessons than each of the individual recipes.

Not a whole lot of pictures (just a few in the center), but some good recipes for homestyle, but bakery quality, sweets - carrot cake, coconut cake, chocolate chip cookies, and doughnuts!

A comprehensive cookbook that has not only recipes for everything from a blueberry muffin to slightly more complicated things like Fish en Papillote. The book is divided into 50 chapters of obvious categories like "Salads" and "Pasta," as well as slightly more interesting ways to think of cooking like "Heatless Cooking" and "Romantic." It's a good reference, and won't replace my cooking bible, Joy of Cooking, but it's still a good one to have.
