I've come across two unusually good and reliable
cookbooks lately that I thought I'd mention.

(1) Judith & Evan Jones - The Book of Bread.  I've
    done a lot of break-baking and found this interesting
    and informative.  My wife had not had much previous
    experience with breadmaking and she found it easy
    to follow and that it guided her in a very failsafe
    way to some outstanding baking (to which I can
    attest).

(2) Abby Mandel's Cuisinart Classroom.  We use our
    Cuisi at least twice a day (DLC7E) and, although 
    we already had a pile of food processor recipes, we
    found this book and its recipes unusually
    provocative.  This tends to be sold not in book
    stores but by Cuisinart dealers (I got it at Macy's).

Other reliable standby's that we couldn't live without
are the old Julia Child/Simone Beck/Louise Bertholle(at
least for vol. 1) "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"
which is now out in paperback, a number of the Time-
Life international series ("The Cooking of China", 
"The Cooking of Germany", etc.) and Marcella Hazan's
two volumes of Italian cookery.

I'd greatly enjoy reading other people's recommendations.
