Good Things by Samin Nosrat

Wow, this is everything that you would expect from Samin Nosrat and more. Her first book, Salt Fat Acid Heat, is a game changer for how to think about cooking and food preparation. The unique thing about that book is that there are not so much recipes as there are ingredients that go together and how to balance the dishes that you make. So this cookbook is a bit different because there are traditional recipes, especially for sauces and dressings, but also other dishes--but what makes this different is that once you make the back bone recipe that are a myriad of things to do with it. So it is a combination of traditional and what I think of that is unique and special about this chef's approach to food. This is a book that should be read before you dive into it--she has a style that is well worth immersing yourself in before you take a stab at replicating what she has on offer. I highly recommend this, especially if you want to experience this fun way of approaching and thinking about feeding yourself, your family, and your friends.
