Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (trailer)

Mesa Refuge Alum Samin Nosrat’s best-selling book, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (2017) is the essential guide to the basic elements of good cooking. The book became a New York Times bestseller and won numerous awards including the 2018 James Beard General Cookbook of the Year. In 2018, Netflix launched an original, four-part series featuring her work.

From Netflix: “Across the four part experience, the spirited guide Samin travels to home kitchens of Italy, the southern islands of Japan, the heat of the Yucatán and back to Berkeley’s Chez Panisse—where she started her culinary career—to demystify and explore the central principles of what makes food delicious and how each of us can easily incorporate those elements into every dish.”
