"Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: The Cookbook for Beginners" by Alice Kaylee is an informative and approachable cookbook that demystifies the art of cooking.
It's designed for the beginner cook, providing foundational knowledge on the four elements of cooking: salt, fat, acid, and heat.
The book also provides tips on building a pantry, kitchen tools, and techniques. One of the most valuable aspects of the book is that it focuses on creating balanced flavors, rather than following a specific set of rules.
This allows the reader to experiment with different ingredients and techniques to create their own unique dishes.
