Summary

Samin Nosrat is the chef behind ‘Salt Fat Acid Heat,’ a book and a new Netflix series of the same name. She’s also a proponent of articulating your dreams.

"I do think taking a little bit of time, a couple times a year, to articulate your goals and your dreams and your desires is helpful because it helps orient you toward them," Nosrat says.

She also tells Greta about the culinary value of those four primary elements, the importance of embracing your cooking mistakes, and she gives great homework!: Write down your goals in a manifestation journal, "Even if they change or don’t come true, that’s fine. It’s just nice to have a record."

0:00.0	I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still
0:06.1	watch them. Their television's longest scripted series and have zero reruns. Now let me tell you,
0:12.7	soap operas aren't just some silly art form. They are significant. In this season of making,
0:18.0	Stories Without End from WB EZ Chicago.
0:25.7	Join me as I share how the genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure.

0:38.0	I am Greta Johnson, and Nerdette is a show where we talk to your favorite or soon to be favorite people. And this week's guest is Samin Nosrat, who I can say
0:44.1	is seriously one of my favorite people making stuff right now. She is the author of an amazing food
0:50.9	book called Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. I call it a food book because it's not a cookbook.
0:55.0	It has some recipes in it, but the idea really is if you master the concepts around salt and
0:59.4	fat and acid and heat, you can make whatever you want, which is really cool. She now has a Netflix
1:05.9	documentary series also called Salt Fat, Acid Heat, and it is incredible. If you haven't seen it yet, I am so
1:13.5	excited for you to discover this show. Let's listen to just a little bit of it before we jump into
1:17.9	the interview. This is from the first episode, Fat. And Samin is talking with a woman who runs a cheese
1:23.8	factory in Italy. Can you tell me a little bit about how to taste?
1:29.3	What am I tasting for?
1:30.3	You have to start from the youngest aging.
1:34.3	So you have to begin with 24.
1:36.3	Okay.
1:37.3	When you taste the first aging, you taste the milk.
1:40.3	Okay.
