Educational Cookbooks (to develop excellent cooking skills)
1. Better Crocker's New Cookbook Newbies (or those who have never had any training) should start here & read cover to cover. You will learn the basics and lay a solid foundation.
2. Joy of Cooking The current 2019 edition is best; Kindle version is very convenient to cook from, but the hardback is bet for reading; the JOC is huge, but time well spent to gain understanding. It will take your cooking skills to the next level. You can refer to it often to compare recipes from other cookbooks and gain insight.
3. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking After the above two books, this will teach you two important skills: (1) how to truly taste foods and (2) how to cook without recipes.

Favorite Specialty Cookbooks
On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen (A great resource and just plain interesting!)
Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling (Meathead's book is second to none. More than a cookbook - it is an education to the art of grilling.)
Japanese Home Cooking: Simple Meals, Authentic Flavors (This is another excellent educational cookbook.)
