NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of Salt Fat Acid Heat —and one of America’s most
beloved chefs and teachers—125 meticulously tested flavor-forward soul-nourishing recipes
that bring joy and a sense of communion With all the generosity of spirit that has endeared
her to millions of fans Samin Nosrat offers more than 125 of her favorite recipes—simply put
the things she most loves to cook for herself and for friends—and infuses them with all the
beauty and care you would expect from the person Alice Waters called “America’s next great
cooking teacher.” As Samin says "Recipes like rituals endure because they’re passed down to
us—whether by ancestors neighbors friends strangers on the internet or me to you. A written
recipe is just a shimmering decoy for the true inheritance: the thread of connection that
cooking it will unspool." Good Things is an essential joyful guide to cooking and living
whether you’re looking for a comforting tomato soup to console a struggling friend seeking a
deeper sense of connection in your life or hosting a dinner for ten in your too-small dining
room. Here you’ll find go-to recipes for ricotta custard pancakes a showstopping roast chicken
burnished with saffron a crunchy tingly Calabrian chili crisp super-chewy sky-high focaccia
and a decades-in-the-making childhood-evoking yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Along the
way you’ll also find plenty of tips techniques and lessons from how to buy olive oil (check
the harvest date) to when to splurge (salad dressing is where you want to use your best
ingredients) to the best uses for your pressure cooker (chicken stock and dulce de leche
naturally). Good Things captures with Samin’s trademark blend of warmth creativity and
precision what has made cooking such an important source of delight and comfort in her life.
