Once I hand them off to you these recipes are no longer mine. They're yours to do with as you
please. And maybe in the act of receiving a little thread of connection will be woven between
me and each of you. How can a recipe express the joy of sharing a meal in person? This is the
feeling that Samin Nosrat sets out to capture in Good Things offering more than 125 recipes
for the things she most loves to cook. You'll find go-to recipes for ricotta custard pancakes
chicken braised with apricots and harissa a crunchy Calabrian chili crisp super-chewy
sky-high focaccia and a decades-in-the-making childhood-evoking yellow cake. Samin also shares
tips and techniques from how to buy olive oil (check the harvest date) to when to splurge on
the best ingredients (salad dressing) to the one acceptable substitute for Parmigiano Reggiano
(Grana Padano if you must). Good Things captures with Samin's trademark blend of warmth and
precision the essence of what makes cooking such an important source of comfort and delight
and invites you to join her at the table.
