The Salt Fix, Salt Fat Acid Heat [Hardcover] 2 Books Collection Set

The Salt Fix and Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat are brought together in this two-book hardback collection, pairing a challenge to conventional dietary advice with a guide to the fundamentals of cooking. The set combines a science-led argument about salt with an approach to improving food through a small number of core variables.

In The Salt Fix: Why the Experts Got it All Wrong and How Eating More Might Save Your Life, a leading cardiovascular research scientist disputes the low-salt myth and examines how salt came to be demonised, pointing instead to sugar as the “real culprit”. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking draws on Samin Nosrat’s early experience cooking at Chez Panisse, where she observed four principles chefs relied on: salt, fat, acid and heat.
