Jerusalem by Ottolenghi and Tamimi is excellent, as is the Polpo cookbook.
For classics, River Cafe or Moro are hard to beat.
I contend Larousse is smug, blokey bookshelf willy-wave. It's like having a leather bound version of the encylopedia Brittanica ... useful once or twice a century when google is down, but about as inspiring as a packet of fish fingers. #couldntaffordLarousse
