From the bestselling 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.
