I completely agree with your selection .
its not so much ' best ' thats important
but a selection that might start w a book ( there are many that fill this bill )
and then supplements ,m back in the day it was stunning good cooking magazines
Gourmet => then also stunning branches of the same. many excellent ones folded
but this days , a book , not so much a bi-monthly subscription
but some videos that show fundamentals . Jacque Pepin , Julia Child
VCR to DVD'
now with and an explosion of cooking shows
quality varies greatly but there is still some fine sutff
and a lot of Cr*P
over the last few years , there was a Master Class series
top chefs . but it was very expensive to purchase
and thus not worth those prices.
