Re: Best Recipe Sources
The book Tio Gato just bombed me with (jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques) has over 800 pages on French cooking. It starts with basic knife techniques, and covers sauces (Hollandaise, beurre blanc), vegetable/fruit carving (tomato rose, apple swan), and goes on to cover some French classics like stuffed squab, pate, veal scallopine, meringue, lady fingers, souffle, crepes Suzettes.
For online stuff, I like epicurious.com and recipezaar.com; and I just discovered chow.com. I just read through the comments before trying a new recipe. Quite often there will be useful suggestions for tweaking the recipe.
