Assuming someone is at a somewhat beginner level and wants to learn more than simply a whole bunch of recipes.

Also feel free to shill for a youtuber or website.

    I agree. It’s not so much a recipe book as a foundation in thinking about how to cook.

    I’d also say Harold McGee’s On Food and Cooking for an even deeper understanding of just about everything culinary (I could read that one for hours).

    For recipes and specifics, Delia Smith’s Complete Cookery Course is the staple source for most people here in the UK.
