New recommendation:
MFK Fisher. The Art of Eating
There will undoubtedly be a lot cook book recommendations, and that's fine. But I would also recommend some books about food. In other words, food essays. Good food essays will simply get you thinking about food, which is a major part of being a good cook.
My personal favorite is Elizabeth David's An Omelet and a Glass of Wine. I never get tired of reading these essays. They make me think about food, and think about food in different ways.
M.F.K. Fisher is another good food writer. Check out The Art of Eating.
One writer frequently overlooked is M. F. K. Fisher. She tends to get lumped into the genre of "food writer" and promptly ignored. But she's not really a food writer. She's a writer of the pleasures and joys of life. Auden said, "I do not know of anyone in the United States who writes better prose." (Lazar, David. Conversations with M. F. K. Fisher' at 22 (University of Mississippi Press 1992) ISBN 0-87805-596-7)
Check her out. She's a fresh, new embracing of life.
