Samin Nosrat's 2017 James Beard Award-winning cooking guide — organized around four fundamental principles (salt, fat, acid, heat) rather than recipes — which teaches the principles underlying all cooking rather than providing step-by-step instructions.
Creates the principle-based cookbook — Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat's organization around principles (not recipes) is the most pedagogically coherent cooking book; it teaches why dishes work rather than how to follow a recipe, making it possible to cook without recipes once the principles are understood.
No recorded contemporaries.
