Prudhomme and 2 Childs' books, but I hardly ever use them. I keep all my recipes on a tablet, so they're pretty much all stuff I can download from the net. And I get most of them from TV- Food Network, Cooking Channel, the PBS shows- ATK, Cook's Country, Lidia Bastianich, Pepin, Patti Jinich. If I find out about a great chef not on TV, I can usually get recipes off the net, also, like Rick Bayless
More than a cookbook, a way to think about cooking that will color the way you approach food in a new way.
Kenji for me is like Alton Brown- they're geniuses about cooking but I don't love their food. Great guys to learn from though. I picked up using baking powder to sous vide shrimp or to help meats brown when sauteing. I always go to The Food Lab for sous vide times and temps.

This is a wonderful book, and he has a great series of YT videos as well.
We have a ton of cookbooks, but the ones I go back to over and over are Food Lab, the ATK cookbook, and several by Jacques Pepin.
Jacques Pepin, Essential Pepin
Marcella Hazan, Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

I second Kenji he looks at cooking from multiple angles and I have yet to have a bad meal using his techniques

What I love about Ina is that she doesn't make her recipes unnecessarily complicated.
