New York Times bestselling writer and author of cookbook-turned-hit Netflix hit, Samin Nosrat, invites you to a celebration of her eagerly awaited follow-up to Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, with her newest cookbook Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with the People You Love.
Over the years, with Samin’s depth of knowledge and her joy for cooking, she has become a trusted kitchen companion to millions of fans through her warm, endearing, and deeply human approach to cooking.
Sharing stories from her early days serving dishes at her coffee table to her years of learning from culinary and literary legends like Robert Hass and Michael Pollan, she will discuss her inspiration for the cookbook, her development and selection of the recipes, and the transformative power of her culinary rituals, such as her weekly “found family” Monday night dinners.
In an evening about creativity and connection, Samin will remind us how cooking can not only nourish our bodies but also satiate our desire for kinship and community. Simply put, she will share the recipes she most loves to cook for herself and her friends, weaving them into profoundly reflective stories with her trademark blend of warmth, creativity, and precision.
Offering inspiration and practical wisdom on finding joy in the kitchen and at the table, she'll also answer your most-asked culinary questions including: How do you balance flavours without a recipe? What makes homemade pasta worth the effort? And how can cooking become an act of community care?
Expect to feel nourished in the deepest sense, as Samin reflects on what truly makes a good meal and a good life that will leave you inspired to gather your people and cook with love.
