If I could have only one cook book, it wouild probably be some edition
of the Rombauers' "Joy of Cooking". Not everything they do is the
definitive version of that thing, but it's more comprehensive than just
about any cookbook I've ever seen, and it requires no key to understand
the secret cooks' jargon ;  ) .

There's a new edition due out any time now, of which, nearly all
remaining traces of the original text by the Rombauer sisters will have
been replaced by stuff from modern authors. You may or may not want
that, and act accordingly.
