If anyone is in the market for an amazing cooking resource I would highly recommend Everyday Food: Great Food Fast.
This book is divided into four sections; one for each season. Each section has a variety of recipes that use seasonal ingredients. Most are very simple and quick to prepare and each dish has a full colour photo beside it (to give you something to aim for).
The back of the book includes an index, a section on basic cooking techniques (like preparing rice and the different ways to cook a chicken), as well as nutritional information for each meal!
I always find myself cracking open this book, even if it is just to look at the pictures for inspiration.
