About this listen
Now a Netflix series WINNER OF THE FORTNUM & MASON BEST DEBUT FOOD BOOK 2018 Sunday Times Food Book of the Year and New York Times bestseller Hear Samin read 'The Four Elements of Good Cooking' - Part One of her bestselling book Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. While cooking at Chez Panisse at the start of her career, Samin Nosrat noticed that amid the chaos of the kitchen there were four key principles that her fellow chefs would always fall back on to make their food better: Salt, Fat, Acid and Heat. By mastering these four variables, Samin found the confidence to trust her instincts in the kitchen and cook delicious meals with any ingredients. And with her simple but revolutionary method, she has taught masterclasses to give both professionals and amateurs the skills to cook instinctively.

An excellent book about cooking
This is an excellent book that teaches you how to cook (rather than a book that teaches you to cook). It sets out four foundations for all cooking (salt, fat, acid, and heat) discusses how to use them and bring balance to a mean.
Nosrat's narration and narratives are compelling and stitch each section together neatly.

Beautifully written and read
A truly lovely listen, Nostat has a wonderful voice - both in her writing and speaking. This was an interesting listen, and offers simple and reasonable explanations to becoming a better and more thoughtful cook.

Best cooking book EVER!
This book changed my life! I used to be a recipe slave, since reading this book I’ve learned how to cook! The content in this book is incredible and changed the way I look at cooking. I will never again be tied to a recipe with the skills I’ve picked up in this fabulous volume. Samin is the most incredible teacher and has made food food accessible to every home cook.

so good!
really great book and it has given me some great tips and even before I finished it had already improved my cooking.
the only slight thing was she defaulted to using Fahrenheit measurements, she's American so I still gave 5 stars but for the rest of the world's benefit celsius would be helpful.
thank you for this great book 😁

Must listen for anyone wanting to improve their cooking skills
I didn’t think I’d enjoy a cook book as an audiobook but after listening to the whole book over 2 days I love it! I’ve never made a better roast chicken and I feel like I have a new found love for cooking again

The Rosetta Stone of the kitchen
The book is easy to follow and as the reader moves through the content, the concept of good cooking begins to form. The narrator's passion for food shines, I didn't give the 5th star for performance as at times I felt more excited than she did, I suspect thats the difference beetwen a novice and an old hat. For me cooking was a complicated subject that I took on recepie by recepie, thanks to the book I have gained the broad prespective required to be confident in the kitchen. I love cooking, took a chance on this book and it paid off.

Amazing book about the science of food.
I’d give this more than 5 stars if possible. Learning the chemistry and science behind cooking was such a light bulb moment and wonderful experience. I think I’ll listen to this one over and over. Can’t wait to level up my cooking!!

Not for the advanced or confident cook
Nosrat’s narration is enjoyable and peppered with short anecdotes. However, I didn’t learn anything new from this book. For the confident cook, the concepts illustrated in Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat might feel like plain old common sense.
