Q&A: Samin Nosrat on her new cookbook Good Things'
"After avowing that I'd never write a book of recipes well, here we are! After Salt Fat Acid Heat came out, I regularly heard from readers, Your book changed my life! But just as often, people told me they loved a specific recipe, and that it meant something to them. That surprised me, but it also motivated me to offer people more of what will be useful for them."
"I've been joking a lot that Good Things is about lowering standards for home cooks everywhere. What I mean is that I want to help people lower the stakes for their time spent in the kitchen. And that can mean anything from perfecting a braise by applying what they've learned in Salt Fat Acid Heat or making something as simple as marinated olives or a perfect bowl of popcorn."
Samin Nosrat is a Persian American, Oakland-based chef who trained at Chez Panisse and wrote the bestselling Salt Fat Acid Heat, a guide to cooking by principles rather than prescriptive recipes. Salt Fat Acid Heat became a Netflix docuseries. Nosrat has written recipes for the New York Times and cohosted the Home Cooking podcast, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues. Good Things contains 125 recipes for home cooks and pairs specific recipes with tips, tricks, and matrices to improve technique. The book aims to lower the stakes of home cooking, helping people gain confidence through both simple dishes and skill-focused applications.
