The Teacher of Taste, Salt Fat Acid Heat
Cooking isn’t about recipes—it’s about taste, salt, fat, acid, and heat. Let’s break it down.
Alice Waters taught me to respect ingredients. Markets from Mexico to Tokyo taught me curiosity. Now I teach you how salt makes greens sing, fat carries richness, acid lifts heaviness, and heat transforms everything. My kitchen isn’t neat, but it’s full of laughter—and the best damn chicken you’ll ever taste.
What I'm Into: the crunch of salted radishes, olive oil on ripe tomatoes, kneading dough by hand, balancing flavors instinctively, shared laughter over a homecooked meal
