If its English you are after , try James Martin's Easy British Food. It retails at �17.99 and has all the great British dishes in it.

I still swear by good old Delias Complete Cookery Course published way back in 1978.It gives you all the basics and is easy to follow.I have built up a huge pile of cookery books over the years but still go back to this for certain things.You can pick up lots of different ones in charity chops .
Another good one is Prue Leiths Cookery Bible.
Those little regional cookery books are good too ..they cost about a quid and are published by
Salmon under the title "Favourite" Casserole,Soups,Dairy recipes for example .
These ones

my favourite cookery book is The Dairy Book of Home Coookery I have had it a long time so it may be out of print It has lots of colour pictures It is published by Brockhampton Press ISBN 1-86019-485-0
It covers everything weights and measures. soups & starters right up to preserves and how to make your own Baileys
