Interesting that this list is currently sweepingly dismissive of "Cookbooks" and "Web resources". Bear in mind Sturgeon's Law - "90% of *everything* is crap". That includes scholarly books, cookbooks, and web pages. Many of the trusted works listed are in fact cookbooks, but well-researched cookbooks with sources (such as Alan Davidson's Mediterranean Seafood).

In terms of "web resources", given to an increasing extent, every type of intellectual work may be available via the web, this ends up being a bit of a catch all term for 'grey literature on the web such as blogs not associated with a reputable publisher'.
