Nosrat’s approach to cooking is a true blend of science and art, precision plus instinct. I’ve been cooking for over 50 years but still found many new insights in this volume!

Loved the show, had to have the book, as the descriptions of relating the four components of good food to one another is something I’ll watch again and again, and having the book makes it all the better!
