I can also recommend Modernist Cuisine, which is a sort of text book version of On Food and Cooking. Though it has a lot of industrial equipment and ingredients that aren't applicable to home cooks, it has excellent photos and diagrams that illustrate the cooking process from a biological and physical level. (Modernist Cuisine at Home isn't nearly as comprehensive, though it shirks a lot of the weird/expensive equipment and additives.)
Also Modernist Bread for breads is fantastic and comprehensive.

Salt Fat Acid Heat is another great cooking theory textbook. Amazing writing and the lessons can apply to any meal you'll ever make.
