Not a picture cookbook, but an honorary mention to An Everlasting Meal by Tamar Adler. One of the finest books on cooking I’ve read-- was recommended to me by J. Dietz.

There are a few in here. I can’t vouch for them though:
I bought this cookbook. So far I am not a fan. For reference I also have the Lucky Peach 101 cookbook which I think in conception aims for a similar flavor profile, if not a bit more dumbed down. The Mission Chinese has long ingredient lists, not the most linear of presentations, and lots of sub recipes.
I much prefer Fushcia Dunlop and the LP cookbooks to this one.
I think that’s a fair criticism and I’m certainly a fan of Fuchsia too. Everything I’ve made out of Mission Chinese has turned out well, though.
Here’s a nice interview with Fuchsia. I learned a lot Fuchsia Dunlop on Chinese Food, Culture, and Travel (Ep. 15) | by Mercatus Center | Conversations with Tyler | Medium

The problem with these is that I go to buy the cheap one, and get suckered into buying something not on sale from the “other people also bought” section.
Keep them coming! Such a great resource.
