I love the Food Lovers Companion! I recently bought the updated version.

Coolest books for reference:

The Food Lovers Companion - What exactly is a coulis? What is a catlplana used for? Have you ever saw a culinary term used in a cookbook or on Iron Chef that you didn't know? This book will tell you what it is!

The Flavor Bible- Pears with Bleu Cheese and Walnuts. Eggs with Nutmeg. Green Beans with Almonds. These are all classic flavor combos that work well with each other, But how about Daikon Radish with Carrots? This book is a great reference for both classic and new flavor combinations that work well together, for some new inspiration, or an answer to that "what can I cook with this?" question for experienced chefs and newbies alike.
