Salt Fat Acid Heat (Season 1)

Salt Fat Acid Heat (2018) is a Netflix documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Carolyn Su, the show adapts Samin Nosrat's James Beard Award-winning cookbook — the argument is that four elements govern every good dish: salt, fat, acid, heat.

Four episodes, four countries. Nosrat travels to each to find the best local version of the principle she's exploring, but this isn't a recipe show. She's after why a dish tastes the way it does — which makes it useful whether you've never cooked or have spent years cooking well without quite understanding the reason.
