it is a cookbook meant to read through, and it is worth it doing so. I’ve been cooking for more than 20 years and Samin Nosrat still surprised me here and there. Sometimes I’d drop the book a go directly to the kitchen to try something out.
I was late to the party reading this one, but I’m glad I did!

Charming! Not a whole lot of new material for anyone who's been cooking a while, but enough to read (not skim) the whole way through... and worth doing so for the sense of joy that infuses the book. Nosrat is a storyteller, an ebullient one; all of her lessons are illustrated via memorable tales of her experiences and mishaps and successes. She uses humor judiciously: as a seasoning, if you will. Every page is filled with delight.
