- Nosrat's cookbook not only contains recipes, but also features narrative, illustrated walkthroughs, and kitchen science explained in a non-scientific manner.

In addition to recipes, Nosrat's cookbook includes narrative, illustrated walkthroughs, and kitchen science presented in an un-science-y way. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat 's forward comes from one of Nosrat's students: The Omnivore's Dilemma author, Michael Pollan. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat . Yep, I love me some of all of those things. But mastering them as elements of good cooking...that sounds like a job for my mama! Good thing I'll be needing a gift for her come Mother's Day on May...uh...May...something. I'll have to look that up later. In Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking , chef and writer Samin Nosrat shows readers how to become home chefs worthy of the title by nailing what she calls the 4 components of cooking that really matter. Fat makes flavor, salt enhances it, acid adds balance, and heat determines what texture the flavor will take.
