I would definitely give a 10 to 'Larousse Gastronomique'.  It's a 
dictionary-style compendium of EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know
about French (and then some) cooking.  You need to be an experienced cook
to get the most out of it, but BOY is it complete.  Info on foodstuffs, 
history, recipes, you name it.  

The only cookbook used regularly by M. F. K. Fisher according to an interview
in a recent Cook's Magazine.  Need I say more?
