Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat
If you’ve subscribed to this newsletter for any length of time, you’ve probably already heard me gush about how much I love this cookbook. Not only did it arrive in my life when I was going through a rough time and needed a pick-me-up, but it also has an audiobook, making it accessible to me, which is rare for cookbooks. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is fantastic because it isn’t just a tome of recipes; it teaches readers HOW to cook. After I had read it, I gave it to every family member and friend with even the slightest interest in cooking. I used to buy it in batches because I knew I would go through them that fast.
