Rick Bayless is a Mexican food fanatic and actually spent a lot of time traveling around Mexico and learned how to cook it properly. His cookbook Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico is a great starter book. I would highly recommend it.
I agree that "How To Cook Everything" is a good reference guide for complete beginners and those with gaps in cooking knowledge.
It might be a bit over your head at this point, but if you truly want to understand cooking and what's happening when you do it try "On Food And Cooking" by Harold McGee.
For Asian you might like...
