What are the cookbooks that had a lasting impact on how you cook on a regular basis? For an overall reference, how about:

The Food Lab

Quite a bit of the content here has appeared elsewhere (see https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-5118015) but great explanations for why the recipes work the way they do. Biggest change to my routine: spatcocked roast chicken plus any vegetable side dish is a good reliable family meal.

the Time Life Cookbooks series is one of my most prized possession, they're wonderful. They've taught me to use the veg clever for cooking which I have been using for over 10 years now as my main cooking instrument.
