*Actually maybe not...
Got ahead of myself but now I see what you're asking for. I still highly recommend it though. It's less actionable on things like flavor profiles, but super important information that goes into why things work the way they do - the egg chapter is amazing and talks about why the whites and yolks behave the way they do. It helps understand the fundamentals of temperatures and why cooking techniques do what they do.

I like math, physics, and cooking, and I think "Ratio" by Michael Ruhlman is amazing.
The classical text that every nerdy chef should read is Harold McGee's On Food and Cooking
If you're feeling extra spendy, A thermapen is awesome. Geeky cooks love precision measuring devices.
I love the science in the kitchen - understanding what happens at a low level helps me understand the reasoning behind different temperatures and processes
This is a great book for those interested in learning more

I'm not sure what you mean by fully resealable because I know milk packaging varies greatly by region. In my part of the USA the two main options are clear plastic jugs and cardboard cartons. I grew up in a family that cooked with milk, but didn't drink it. Milk would go bad on us pretty regularly. My mom started buying the cartons and swore it lasted longer, and anecdotally that seemed that seemed to be the case.
It wasn't until I read On Food and Cooking that I learned why this is true. Light helps to spoil milk, so a clear container will spoil faster. If the milk is used sparingly and exposed to light whenever the fridge opens it will go bad quicker. The cardboard blocks the light and the milk lasts longer. If milk is available in a resealable container that isn't clear then that would be the best of both worlds.
