Here's one person's outline of the book:

quote:

I’m an intuitive cook, improvising on recipes freely when I use them at all. That’s why Salt Fat Acid Heat is the perfect cookbook for me.

It’s an exploration of the underlying principles of good cooking, explaining the science behind how ingredients behave and the why behind the norms of cuisine. The information is presented in an accessible and engaging way, so the knowledge can be internalised and applied freely. It empowers with knowledge rather than dictating by rote.

I bought the book, but it wasn’t for me. I think it is probably profound and amazing if you are a novice cook, or one with a very limited repertoire. But most ppl with a decent palate and a couple decades of cooking experience won’t be amazed by it.

I haven't read the book, but this is how I felt about the tv series.
