Released in 2017, Samin Nosrat’s James Beard Award-winning cookbook Salt Fat Acid Heat is the perfect compendium for those looking to improve their skills in the kitchen. Its gentle guidance will give you the confidence to create perfectly balanced dishes, every time!
Cooking Theory
As well as recipes, Salt Fat Acid Heat contains over 200 pages of theory, teaching us about the philosophy, principles, and techniques behind all good cooking. This will give you a strong foundation from which to tackle more complex recipes and come up with your own ideas.
No More Food Styling
Most cookbooks these days are filled with intimidatingly beautiful photos of the dishes you’re trying to create. Instead, Salt Fat Acid Heat is filled with quirky illustrations by Wendy Macnaughton. Nosrat’s goal was to free us from the idea that ‘there’s only one perfect version of every dish.
Variations
Salt Fat Acid Heat also encourages you to be creative in the kitchen and make adaptations when necessary. It’s filled with seasonal variations, store cupboard swaps, and time-saving alternative techniques. This is a cookbook you can adapt to your own kitchen, budget, and locale.
