I second this recommendation.
Also, check out his show on the Food Network. Whatever you cook, you can learn interesting tricks and techniques.
I find a lot of recipes from cooking light. It's not as scientific or elegant as cook's illustrated, but it provides wonderful recipes from many different cuisines (african, carribean, thai, indian, etc.). We rarely use the recipes without making major modifications to turn them from normal recipes into vegetarian recipes.
