Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking

by Samin Nosrat

Samin Nosrat reorganizes all of cooking around four elements, and the result is the rare cookbook that actually teaches you to cook rather than just follow recipes. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is a kitchen education disguised as a beautiful book.
