At least I still have Jacques.
Man, I hadn't seen this. I'll have to dig a little deeper, but from a quick scan doesn't look awesome.
I've been a big fan for many many years. Doesn't change what he did for food television. And helped do (along with other people/companies of the same era) to food science. But, damn, can't a hero just stay a hero?

I'm probably old-school, but you may also find you get some good use out of cookbooks if you find good/reliable ones. They're also kind of fun to browse/explore once you have faith in the source.
A few I'd recommend: The Food Lab America's Test Kitchen Good Eats
