La Technique, Jacques Pepin Mastering The Art Of French Cooking, Julia Child These books are a combination of background information, recipe, and step by step instruction. So these are more a reference of how to write an implementation guide or Runbook, rather than how to describe an API or present architectural documents. I also really liked Mastering Algorithms With Perl, and any of the For Dummies books on technical subjects.
