Samin Nosrat of "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" on the fundamental elements of cooking

Chef and food writer Samin Nosrat didn't even consider a career in cooking until she ate at Berkeley's legendary Chez Panisse during college. She got a job as a food runner there and worked her way up, eventually impressing renowned chef Alice Waters. Last year, Nosrat's first cookbook, "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" became a bestseller and earned her a James Beard Award. It also inspired a Netflix series by the same name. Nosrat joins Anthony Mason and Michelle Miller to discuss her culinary journey.

Her character is unbelievably nice and powerful. Such a charismatic person.

[@tina9953]

Samin is so likeable. I love her cooking.

[@janetmuschamp459]

I loved watching Samin and learning more about food on the Netflix. Now that I have seen this interview I am reminded she is such a gifted communicator and teacher. Thank you Samin.

[@ambrospike2]

I wish I got the hardcover version. The ebook on kindle on my computer is okay, but I can't see the pictures very well. If you have the money; get the hardcover.

[@irismiller8733]

A amazing chef, might i add

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

irene adlker the dislikes arent about the chef

[@johnbyron26]

ok. I love love love Samin so this is not about her but is anyone as annoyed as I am with the CBS morning who kept calling her "Nosrat" and being just rude? Please do your research CBS woman

[@MxichaelsRoblox]

Now I’m hungry OOF

[@elizaheathen]

that "toyota go places" placard in the back is incredibly distracting. is it really necessary?

[@guccijorge6726]

Frist

[@bobbyqroberts]

Salt is way, way, overrated. Unless you are Russian, Greek, English working class etc; then it is a pillar of your cooking. Or if you are an excellent French cook. Most people's cooking would be improved if they left out almost all the salt in most dishes If you are this excellent French cook, then rethink the salt a bit.

[@SuperMIKevin]

Am I seeing wrong or are her eyes way too close to each other?

[@JosDLM]

i think you're seeing wrong because yours are too close

[@SuperMIKevin]

@@JosDLM you're funny.

[@jaxsongold5658]

Is that a man?

[@irismiller8733]

JESUS! OF course not. She's a successful chef with a book, and a show, and shes almost completely self-built. She's an amazing woman, and here you are hating on HER. DAMN. LOOKS.
