The beloved chef’s new chapter.

Nosrat and her dog, Fava Bean, at home in Oakland, California.
Almost as soon as Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat was published, people started dropping Samin Nosrat’s name in kitchens and over dinner tables. Whereas once, they might have asked if an apple pie was Julia’s recipe, or if you had tried the latest from James Beard, now, they referenced Samin, who seemed to be both friend and culinary sensei to everyone who came across her work.
