Samin Nosrat

Samin Nosrat's 2017 cookbook, Salt Fat Acid Heat, was organized around what she considers the four fundamental elements of food — and how to make delicious dishes that didn't require step-by-step instructions. One thing deliberately absent: recipes. Nosrat latest cookbook is Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love.

Nosrat says there are four elements in cooking, and if you understand how they work, you can make delicious food. She travels the world to learn more about those elements in her new four-part show.
