I am in the same position you are in. Love cooking, no formal training, but love the science, theory and art behind it all. I have a few books that I find to be indispensable.
And mentioned in other threads, Cooking for Geeks is a great book too, On Food and Cooking is WONDERFUL and What Einstein Told His Chef is a great read as well. Modernist Cuisine is REALLY cool but makes me cry when I see the price.

How Baking Works This details the science of baking
The Professional Pastry Chef
Bo Friberg's latest edition, this one is pretty comprehensive. I'd suggest this one for the best dollar value
Gisslen's textbook is also good, but Friberg's has better examples of presentation. Professional Baking
