Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love

In Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love, award-winning chef, teacher, and writer Samin Nosrat—beloved author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat—invites readers back into her kitchen for a deeply personal and soulful exploration of food, friendship, and connection.

With her signature warmth and precision, Samin shares more than 125 recipes that capture the dishes she loves most—those she makes for herself, her friends, and her family. From Ricotta Custard Pancakes and Sky-High Focaccia to Saffron Roast Chicken and a nostalgic Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting, every recipe is a “good thing”—beautifully simple, deeply satisfying, and meant to be shared.

Interwoven with practical tips, stories, and reflections, Good Things celebrates the rituals that turn cooking into communion. You’ll find Nosrat’s thoughtful guidance on ingredient sourcing, timing, and technique, plus insights that make her one of the most trusted culinary teachers today. As Alice Waters calls her, “America’s next great cooking teacher.”

With over 100 evocative photographs by Aya Brackett, this 464-page volume radiates generosity and gratitude—an invitation to cook, gather, and find joy in the kitchen again.
