I really love Adele McConnell's The Vegan Cookbook. There's no strange/bizarre ingredients that are difficult to source, there's plenty of pictures and the recipes are delicious and easy to make. She also has a blog with lots of great recipes too.

I like Vegetarian for Dummies which also has a vegan section. All the recipes are easily veganised if they are not already vegan. There's also reader favourites.
I know what you mean about strange ingredients.
The other good book us Vegan for Life and that helps with getting background knowledge on nutrition and balancing your meals.
My favourite recipe books are Revive. It's a cafe in New Zealand but you can buy the books on amazon. No weird ingredients, but some recipes need a lot of ingredients. It's very fresh and easy to cook, no technical expertise.
Good luck.

I have been enjoying "Veganomicon" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero.
It includes sections on stocking a pantry, kitchen equipment, cooking terminology and basic cooking techniques. Unfortunately, it has very few photos.
While not all of the recipes are simple, many are, and they offer options for any meal and every occasion.

For super simple, try Mayim's Vegan Table. Not too many photos, though.
I also found the China Study All-Star Cookbook to be fairly simple. There are photos (varying quality) but you will have recipes from many people. You can see which ones you like the best and then perhaps track down their other cookbooks.
Other people really like the simplicity of the Happy Herbivore cookbooks. I like her latest one, Light & Lean, the best. Photos are there.
I also really like Choosing Raw, the cookbook. Gorgeous photos. The recipes are both cooked and raw, but all very good and super fast/simple.
My other favourite simple/quicker cookbooks are 30 Minute Vegan Soup's On, More Quick Fix Vegan and Isa Does It.
Hope this helps! There are lots of options.

I've found that the internet has some of the simplest vegan recipes. Some of my favorite places to find these are Happy Herbivore and Minimalist Baker (make sure the recipes here are specifically labeled as vegan). They both have recipes that use minimal ingredients and are fairly simple and fast to prepare, with little to no prep time. Good luck!
