Publisher's Synopsis
In 2017, the world was introduced to Samin Nosrat's masterful guide to foundational cooking and Wendy MacNaughton's accompanying artwork that brought it to life. Now, twenty of the spectacular pieces from the bestselling Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat are collected as beautiful, frameable prints. As in cooking, each piece of artwork was created using all five senses. While Samin cooked and taught, Wendy drew and took notes. And smelled. And touched. And tasted. And tasted again. The resulting pen and watercolour drawings celebrate the four elements of good cooking: Salt, Fat, Acid, and Heat. At once beautiful and useful, designed for framing, but perfect for anywhere, these prints will inspire you to cook and draw in the same spirit they were created: thoughtfully, fearlessly, with friends, and a whole lot of laughs. You may have known how to boil an egg before, but Samin and Wendy taught you precisely how many minutes to cook it according to your vision of ideal yolkiness. You probably didn't think you needed to know the various sources of fat and acid and how to layer them in a salad, but Samin and Wendy made you want to. With Wendy's illustrations, the book made readers never want to leave Samin's virtual kitchen. The Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat Boxed Prints transform Samin's and Wendy's enchanting, colourful recipe designs into an even more accessible format that will continue to bring beauty and practicality to every home cook. From the anatomy of a Caesar salad to step-by-step guides to mayonnaise, from pesto pie charts to salad-building checklists, the art will make these frameables a wonderful and affordable addition to any home collection.
