"Salt Fat Acid Heat: Mastering the Art of Good Cooking" by Samin Nosrat
Up until this year, I never really cooked. At all. My bf was certainly the chef (a word I use loosely) between the two of us. So my New Years resolution this year was to cook a new meal every week. I'm actually keeping up with It! But for the most part, I'm sticking strictly to the recipes I find online.
This book, though, is teaching me how to "feel" and understand my food as I cook it rather than simply throwing a recipe together and hoping it turns out OK in the end. I was completely hooked after reading the first chapter... about salt (yes, I'm excited because I'm learning about salt). I never knew how vital it is to cooking and how different types of salt can drastically alter taste.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is learning to cook and/or to anyone who doesn't know or understand how these four elements - Salt, fat, acid, and heat - can affect food.
