Fashion Flash Book Review: Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat
I love to cook but after a year of lockdown due to COVID and preparing more than 1000 meals, I am sick and tired of my home cooking., When I shared my culinary crisis with my daughter Lauren she gave me a copy of Salt Fat Acid Heat. It is a unique cookbook that leads you to become a better cook. For example, to me, acid was lemon juice and vinegar. Author Samin explained that sour can also come from catsup, tomatoes, dried fruit and even pickle juice. While salt brings out flavor, acid balances them.
Half of the book explains how the four elements impact flavor of a dish while the second half offers more than 100 recipes that utilize these principles. The first recipe I tried was a vietnamese cucumber salad that blew me away. It layered flavors of scallions, mint, cilantro, lime juice and seasoned rice vinegar. It took cucumbers to a whole new level. Other incredible recipes included the best tomato sauce to come out of my kitchen, soy glazed salmon, buttermilk roast chicken and peaches in red wine. While I still long to go out for a lovely dinner with my hubs, Sat Fat Acid Heat has made the wait more bearable
