I love this idea of the "backdoor influence" of certain cookbooks. I would say More Than Cake by Natasha Pickowicz and Company by Amy Thielen do this job for me. And...An Everlasting Meal! I haven't read it in years, but still conjure up the feeling of it when I'm in the kitchen sometimes.
Interesting to see: While we're not at Martha Stewart Entertaining levels, used copies of the Franny's cookbook (now out of print, I presume) are going for a pretty penny!

This is an interesting concept and has my wheels turning since I chat with so many authors about their influences and inspirations.
I have some cookbooks that I don’t cook from often but they remind me of places and times in my life and so they stay on my shelves as old friends.
