Nosrat was looking to fill the niche of a instructional book on cooking, but not just the how-to, but the why. Breaking it down into four distinct sections landed well for me, a novice-pretend-gourmand-chef. I found myself often thinking “ohhhhh that’s why!” when Nosrat would explain the chemistry behind a technique that I’ve figured out through trial and error but had no idea of the “why”. She was able to articulate the rules that any good chef inherently knows, but likely doesn’t know how to verbalize. It’s a great read for anyone who loves to cook, wants to learn to cook, or wants to enhance their practice.
