Query: Essential book for any cook!

A friend who is a caterer referred me to this book saying she is never without it. As a novice cookit really helped me learn the easy work arounds to stuff you might need for a recipe and not have at themoment in your pantry. Illustrates measurement conversions, how to put together spice combinations, sauces from scratch, salad dressings,butters, etc. Organized for easy access. My favorite reference book.
