New York Times Bestseller
A visionary new master class in cooking that distills decades of professional experience into just four simple elements, from the woman declared “America’s next great cooking teacher” by Alice Waters.
In the tradition of The Joy of Cooking and How to Cook Everything comes Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, an ambitious new approach to cooking by a major new culinary voice. Chef and writer Samin Nosrat has taught everyone from professional chefs to middle school kids to author Michael Pollan to cook using her revolutionary, yet simple, philosophy. Master the use of just four elements—Salt, which enhances flavor; Fat, which delivers flavor and generates texture; Acid, which balances flavor; and Heat, which ultimately determines the texture of food—and anything you cook will be delicious. By explaining the hows and whys of good cooking, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will teach and inspire a new generation of cooks how to confidently make better decisions in the kitchen and cook delicious meals with any ingredients, anywhere, at any time.
Echoing Samin’s own journey from culinary novice to award-winning chef, Salt, Fat Acid, Heat immediately bridges the gap between home and professional kitchens. With charming narrative, illustrated walkthroughs, and a lighthearted approach to kitchen science, Samin demystifies the four elements of good cooking for everyone. Refer to the canon of 100 essential recipes—and dozens of variations—to put the lessons into practice and make bright, balanced vinaigrettes, perfectly caramelized roast vegetables, tender braised meats, and light, flaky pastry doughs.
Featuring 150 illustrations and infographics that reveal an atlas to the world of flavor by renowned illustrator Wendy MacNaughton, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will be your compass in the kitchen. Destined to be a classic, it just might be the last cookbook you’ll ever need.
With a foreword by Michael Pollan
##meh 兩晚看完 學到瞭一點新東西但不多 I don’t understand the hype....
評分##finished it days ago as after-dinner-before-bed treat; given that I have a much nuanced understanding of chemistry/physics involved in culinary alchemy, no trouble discerning editorial cosmetics aimed to cover the author's inadequacy; the writing has grace and correctness; picked up some ideas for recipes; I love her attitude and personalities!
評分##啊 什麼時候我纔能燒一道硬菜呢
評分##Amazing! 從物理和化學的角度解釋瞭很多烹飪的原理。雖然第二部分的菜譜傢庭廚房並不友好,但是有很多大廚的技巧很實用。

評分##找感興趣的幾章讀瞭下。對我來說 why is more important than how
評分##Having known using four ingredients correctly , you can truly be a experienced cook rather than an amateur.Read in Blinkist.
評分這書超級受歡迎,排圖書館的隊排瞭有大半年。看瞭以後覺得說的都有道理,然而完全沒有學到新東西。。。Serious Eats和ATK的腦殘粉就不用看瞭,不過平常不看這類書的話這本挺好的
