Samin Nosrat is amazing. And this book is an extensive study on cooking but distilled into one basic theory: master the use of four elements—salt, fat, acid, and heat—and anything you cook will be delicious. Samin Nosrat has taught cooking to home cooks, middle schoolers, Michael Pollan, and now continues the good work with her Netflix series. Where Harold McGee’s book is the old school heavyweight in food science, Samin Nosrat’s Salt Fat Acid Heat is a fun new voice in food science and cooking.
