I would recommend the book Ruhlman’s Twenty (http://www.amazon.com/Ruhlmans-Twenty-Techniques-Recipes-Manifesto/dp/0811876438). It’s not a cookbook, though it has recipes—it’s a thorough overview on the purpose of twenty basic ingredients in cooking (water, eggs, butter, salt, etc.).
Thanks for the recommendation.
