B“To say she made me a better cook would be a gross understatement. Watch the Netflix series by the same name but get the cookbook for the beautiful fold outs of geographic flavor combinations.”

Susy Slais“This is one of those cookbooks that teaches you how to think in the kitchen, not just how to follow a recipe. Samin makes the "why" behind good cooking feel wonderfully approachable.”

paige t“just delicious from cover to cover. Samin has a way of talking about food that is like no one I've ever read. the netflix series by the same name is fantastic as well - remarkably re-watchable and a feast for the eyes! now I want focaccia.”
