With a 4.8-star rating from over 21,000 readers and inspiration from a popular Netflix series, it empowers home cooks to elevate flavors and textures by mastering the essential elements of salt, fat, acid, and heat. ## Description From the Publisher Master the four elements of good cooking Salt's primary role in cooking is to amplify flavor. That doesn't mean you should simply use more salt – it means you can learn how to use salt better . Fat can contribute flavor to a dish, but it can also bind other ingredients, it can used as a cooking medium to heat or cook food, and it can affect the texture of a dish, making it creamy, flaky, crispy... If salt enhances flavors, acid balances them – it can give a pleasing counterpoint not just to sugar in your food but also to salt, fat, bitterness and starch. Heat is the element of transformation: using it well means knowing how different foods react to it, and using it so that the surface of your food and its interior are done cooking at the same time. Samin Nosrat is a chef and food writer. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is her first book and was the inspiration for her hit Netflix documentary series of the same name. In 2019 she was on the Time 100 list of the world ’s most influential people. Review: Great book! - The book is well written and have a lot of great tips along the way. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, bought this primarily for the basic understanding of how dishes are affected by the titled elements. Delivery: 1* as it was packaged in a simple desertcart plastic bag for delivery. Hardcover book was scuffed up and looked used (it wasn't). Review: Damage and dirty - I found outside the door without packaging. The hard cover as already broken and it also super dirty ## Features - ISBN : 9781782112303 - Book Language : English - Category Type : Cook - Publisher : Canongate Books Ltd (GB) - Author : by Nosrat, Samin / Macnaughton, Wendy - Binding : Hardcover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #15,466 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #53 in Cooking Education & Reference #1,116 in Crafts, Hobbies & Home | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 21,871 Reviews | ## Images ![Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat : Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910uskOxkDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book! *by T***. on 2 December 2022* The book is well written and have a lot of great tips along the way.
