Beverly's favorite cookbooks
Mastering the Art of French Cooking
The very detailed, precise methods can seem old-fashioned now, but the recipes are fail-proof and authentic.
French Country Cooking
Not for a beginner cook, but still one of the best cookery books for French food.
Summer Cooking
The strawberry ice cream is unbeatable, and a regular feature of my summer meals.
Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cookery
Indian food no longer has the mystique it had when this was written, but the recipes are still as enjoyable to eat and fail-proof.

A joy to read and use in the kitchen -- a collection of comforting, wholesome recipes.

The title is quite a claim and the book isn't quite that comprehensive, but this is my go-to reference source for straightforward, clear information and fail-proof recipes.
Thai Food
The essential book for non-Thais.
How To Eat: The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food
As unappealing as it might sound, Nigella's ham cooked in Coca Cola is reason enough to buy this book.
