About Salt, Fat, Acid and Heat
I entirely admit it, I am addicted to cookery books. If I don’t buy them myself, then my other half always finds an excuse to buy another book. John often surprises me with books of authors I have never heard of such as recently Samin Nosrat, the author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. I accidentally watched her programme on Netflix, so my Christmas present was delivered early. Website
My favourite cuisines
My favourite cuisines are Asian, Italian, and food from the Middle East. I like authentic food with a twist, make everything from scratch and grind my own spices. Often bought on my travels as they are fresher at the source, but you can often find in one of the shops in Mill Road, Cambridge hunting down ingredients for my next meal.
