Show Notes
<p dir="ltr">Samin Nosrat found a love for cooking through working in acclaimed restaurants and visiting kitchens around the world. She became a star after releasing her hit cookbook <em>Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat</em> – which also became a Netflix series. But to her surprise, all that success left her feeling empty. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Sam chatted with Samin in her ‘secret garden,’ surrounded by kumquats, limes and passion fruit. She broke down how hard it was to recover in the spotlight, and how she learned to embrace life’s pleasures. Plus, she dishes on the healing powers of dinner parties and gives advice for pulling them off yourself.</p>
