Excellent book and fun Netflix series. For this price, it's worth snagging, but this is one that you really should buy a physical copy of. There are a ton of excellent visuals, charts, graphs, etc. which I found much more accessible with my physical copy (I had also snagged this digitally for about this price the past). This book is much more about teaching cooking intuition (such as what spices pair well with which cuisine, differences on the types of fat, how to apply acidity, etc.) than just recipes although the recipes she includes are great.

We very regularly use some of the recipes, particularly the brined turkey breast one (which I extended to brining a whole turkey before smoking last Thanksgiving and worked amazingly). Be aware that one of her most popular recipes, the buttermilk brined whole chicken that you see at the end of the Netflix series, is not in the book but it's easy to find online and it's amazing. Her contributions to NYtimes cooking are also great.

I have the hard cover version. It's a good book if you want to learn more about some fundamental things that amateur cooks typically don't do, but could do with very little effort and improve their food.

I love a title to a book like this because now I know I don't need to read it. Next time I cook food I'll incorporate: "salt fat acid heat". Keep it simple! 😉
You can check out the Netflix show too. Same title.

The show however is nothing like the book so I really wouldn't link the two.

Other way around. The book was out first, so the recipes on the show are from the book.

Its a four part docuseries where Samin goes to an area that she feels showcases one of the fundamental elements (i.e. Italy for Fat, Japan for Salt, Mexico for Acid, and US [Berkeley/Chez Panisse] for Heat). She meets people from the area, cooks/eats some amazing looking food, and talks about how the fundamental element is applied. Overall it's a fun watch that's pretty generally enjoyable (not just to folks that like cooking shows).
