Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat

Samin Nosrat's narration of her innovative cooking guide is informative and conversational. Nosrat is a helpful friend by your side in the kitchen, cheerfully imparting culinary wisdom through a combination of accessible scientific explanations and tales of past cooking disasters--and triumphs--of her own. She distills the complexities of the kitchen to four essential elements--salt, fat, acid, and heat--and examines each with an approachable narration to help the listener delve into the science of food. She makes it clear that a balance of these four elements leads to excellent cooking. Don't listen without access to the beautifully illustrated companion cookbook, as the audiobook covers only the first portion. The second half details techniques and recipes that will enlighten novice and experienced cooks alike. E.E.C. � AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
