Discover your inner chef! Join us at the Kilton Public Library for our exciting Cookbook Book Club. Share your love of cooking and try out new recipes with a fun and food-loving community. Participants will choose a recipe from a new cookbook each month, cook it at home, and bring it in to share on our meeting date, where we will discuss the process and the book. Whether you're a seasoned cook or just starting out, this is a great opportunity to expand your culinary skills and meet new people. The club is free to attend and open to all ages. This Month's Book is Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: mastering the elements of good cooking by Samin Nosrat In the tradition of The Joy of Cooking and How to Cook Everything comes Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, an ambitious new approach to cooking. Chef and writer Samin Nosrat has taught everyone from professional chefs to middle school kids to author Michael Pollan to cook using her revolutionary, yet simple, philosophy. Master the use of just four elements—Salt, which enhances flavor; Fat, which delivers flavor and generates texture; Acid, which balances flavor; and Heat, which ultimately determines the texture of food—and anything you cook will be delicious. By explaining the hows and whys of good cooking, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will teach and inspire a new generation of cooks how to confidently make better decisions in the kitchen and cook delicious meals with any ingredients, anywhere, at any time. Echoing Samin’s own journey from culinary novice to award-winning chef, Salt, Fat Acid, Heat immediately bridges the gap between home and professional kitchens. With charming narrative, illustrated walkthroughs, and a lighthearted approach to kitchen science, Samin demystifies the four elements of good cooking for everyone. Refer to the canon of 100 essential recipes—and dozens of variations—to put the lessons into practice and make bright, balanced vinaigrettes, perfectly caramelized roast vegetables, tender braised meats, and light, flaky pastry doughs. Destined to be a classic, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat just might be the last cookbook you’ll ever need.
