Okay, you've caught me; there's beer and wine books, too. Here's what you're looking at:

I run a cocktail bar, and I've been meaning to share my library for some time, but I have a knack for lending my books out to friends and colleagues so I keep waiting for it to be complete. Then I realized my collection keeps growing and will never be complete, so I may as well just share a snapshot of it.

Jane Grigson's English Food (1979) is probably as close as you'll get to an English Mastering the Art. It's as much a history and anthrolpological study of English food as it is a collection of recipes, but its recipes are extensive and excellent.

Elizabeth Luard's The Old World Kitchen (1987), which ranges across the European continent, nonetheless contains a fine, idiosyncratic collection of English recipes in its midst (and is probably the best single-volume reference of old world peasant cooking traditions).

The incomparable Elizabeth David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery (1977) covers every inch of the English bread-making tradition, from milling wheat to presenting at the table. David's attentions were usually focused in a more southerly direction -- the foods of France, Italy -- but she treats the baking traditions of her home nation with as much detail and respect as she does those of more foreign locales

If you want a more contemporary, chef-y book, check out Fergus Henderson's more recent The Whole Beast (2004), which is delicious, detailed, and delectable.

And finally, if you want something a lot more chef-y, Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck Cookbook (2009) will show you contemporary English gastronomy at its most ambitious (but also, maybe, its most pretentious). It sure is pretty to look at, tho.

The Joy of Cooking is still what I give people who are just starting to cook, and they seem to love it too. It's got very simple recipes, but also a lot of information on techniques/ingredients/types of cooking. I've still got the 1975 edition that I learned to cook with, and I still use it sometimes.

I also like Michael Smith's books a lot- they're very simple, he makes suggestions on techniques and changing ingredients, and he's very encouraging.

I've had my tagine for years, now.... I don't know what I'd do without it. I love this book because it's full of ideas. I would give you more recipes, but I'm a bit unwell at the moment. Start here and with Claudia Roden. (I use a traditional stoneware tagine from North Africa, but if your make is different you can adapt the recipes to make them exactly the same way!)

He's using Jamie Oliver's Food Tube Family Cookbook. This cookbook was written by one of his former students Kerryann Dunlop. Here's a video of her doing the recipe from the book.

I've never tried any of his cookbooks, but his videos on Food Tube makes things seem approachable no matter how complicated they really are.

Claudia Roden's The New Book of Middle Eastern Food is a brilliant book on the subject. Hundreds of recipes and lots of cultural information

This is my current favourite recipe book for Indian food

There's a great book called Apples to Oysters about one food item famous in each province by Margaret Webb: http://www.amazon.ca/Apples-Oysters-Discovers-Canadas-Farmers/dp/0670066249

This only scratches the surface of the great food you should try, but it is worth checking out for the trip.

I am in Toronto and can give you all the recommendations that you could want here for food, clubs, tourist sites, heritage and environmental sites.

I would encourage you however to think about hitting Algonquin Park on your way through Ontario for a canoe and/or a camp. I'd also suggest that you take a stop in Prince Edward County, near Kingston and enjoy a great drive, some local County Cider and go do some harvesting of whatever is in season here.

Best of luck!
