A written recipe is just a shimmering decoy for the true inheritance: the thread of connection that cooking it will unspool.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGood Things\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential, joyful guide to cooking and living, whether you’re looking for a comforting tomato soup to console a struggling friend, seeking a deeper sense of connection in your life, or hosting a dinner for ten in your too-small dining room. Here you’ll find go-to recipes for ricotta custard pancakes, a showstopping roast chicken burnished with saffron, a crunchy, tingly Calabrian chili crisp, super-chewy sky-high focaccia, and a decades-in-the-making, childhood-evoking yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Along the way, you’ll also find plenty of tips, techniques, and lessons, from how to buy olive oil (check the harvest date) to when to splurge (salad dressing is where you want to use your best ingredients) to the best uses for your pressure cooker (chicken stock and dulce de leche, naturally).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGood Things\u003c\/i\u003e captures, with Samin’s trademark blend of warmth, creativity, and precision, what has made cooking such an important source of delight and comfort in her life.“A collection of essential recipes and kitchen wisdom that celebrates the art of cooking as an opportunity for connection and community. For Nosrat, cooking is about sharing time and attention with the people in our lives—and paying attention to details that take foods from simple to sublime. . . . Adventurous home cooks will appreciate the firm foundation of knowledge that ultimately offers the freedom and confidence to experiment and create special foods to share.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamin Nosrat\u003c\/b\u003e is a cook, teacher, and author of the James Beard Award-winning #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eSalt, Fat, Acid, Heat.\u003c\/i\u003e She was named one of \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e's 100 Most Influential People in the World and Chef of the Year by \u003ci\u003eEater\u003c\/i\u003e.

She had a story for every little thing. A collection of pinecones from around her mom’s childhood home. A geode, not yet cracked open. Tiny paintings. Each of these things told a story about who she was and what she cared about, a brief chance to view the world through her eyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is my cigar box. Inside, you’ll find my most useful and beloved everyday recipes. You’ll encounter my favorite ingredients, tools, and techniques, as well as stories about the ways cooking continues to be a source of meaning and beauty in my life. Like Miya and many other kids (and some adults), I’ve always had an unbridled enthusiasm for things others might consider useless—­apricot pits, the liquid from a can of chickpeas, or the oil left behind after frying a pot of shallots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI’ve obsessively collected and refined these treasures, large and small, over a lifetime of cooking. And because I believe sharing life’s pleasures only magnifies them, I’d like to share my Good Things with you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWelcome.Author of Salt Fat Acid Heat","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233201926373,"sku":"NP9781984857781","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781984857781.jpg?v=1767728375","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/good-things-isbn-9781984857781","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
