Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • You basically want culinary technique books that also have recipes in them. America test kitchen, salt fat acid heat, le cordon blue culinary techniques, jaque pepin, etc.
  • For me, it's thinking about Salt Fat Acid Heat (see the book) and how different ingredients contribute to these and balance the dish.
  • Highly recommend reading the book Salt Fat Acid Heat. It made me an infinitely better cook because I was able to understand the “why.”
  • I just finished the Salt chapter in Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, and it recommended 1 1/8 tsp/pound for meat (kosher salt) at 1%.
  • I do love *Salt Fat Acid Heat*.

Cons

  • Top recipes sorted by Buzz (not always a reliable guide to the best) are ones by ... Samin Nosrat's *Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat*
  • I just watched “salt acid fat heat” or whatever on Netflix which was insightful but personally didn’t care for the host of the show.

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. That's a cookbook and a TV series, as well as a recipe for everything.

I have a copy of “salt, fat, acid, heat” that I’m plowing through and trying to digest.

I would suggest checking out Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat. It contains lists of ingredients sorted by seasonal availability as well as side diagrams on the shapes and cuts of meat. I personally think it is the most useful cook book ever written, more of a combination of recipes chosen to nail down concepts and very direct textbook style explanations of foods and ingredients
