"Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is a refreshing break from [the]
contemporary formula. Instantly recognizable as a reference book,
Samin Nosrat's definitive technique-driven tome defies convention.
This is partly because Nosrat's method of teaching via the book's
four main pillars (salt, fat, acid, and heat) is a rarity...But
what makes Nosrat's method so effective was her insistence that the
book be illustrated.-- "Saveur.com"
"If you're only going to buy one cookbook this year, let it be this
so-much-more-than-a-recipe-book by Chez Panisse alum Samin Nosrat
and illustrated by Wendy MacNaughton, guaranteed to turn even the
most culinarily inept among us into kitchen proficient."
-- "Elle.com"
"Just reading Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will make you a better cook,
adept at seasoning, balancing, understanding what it really is
you're doing and why... Make room on the bedside table--and the
countertop."-- "Bon Appetit"
