Mouthwatering cookbooks

Certain cookbooks get my salivary glands running. The latest, which I grabbed at the library, is Bistro Laurent Tourdondel: New American Bistro Cooking. I could almost eat the pictures. What are some of your faves?

'Crust and Crumb' by Peter Reinhart. If you really love baking bread or even if you just want to imagine the aroma, this will do it for you.

Not as much for the food imagery, although some of it is tempting, but more for the overall experience of landscape and roomscapes and tablescapes.

Monet's Table. I myself going through it several times a year.
