An Essential Cook’s Reference
Why we recommend it: I first came across this book at an agritourismo destination in Devon (with excellent farm to table offerings). Then I learned it was a beloved go-to for English cooks. It’s a guide to the 99 essential ingredients and their flavor combinations, offering cook’s inspiration rather than strict recipes.
Top pick for: cooks who like to improvise
