As someone who started cooking later in life and with zero training, I’m more adventurous than knowledgeable in the kitchen. I’ve definitely found a lot of “oh, so that’s why...” moments. I haven’t gotten around to trying the recipes yet, but the information is very useful.

Check out the tv show on Netflix as well. It’s fabtadtic.
After reading the book and watching the tv show, I’ve made a couple seemingly minor changes in my cooking that have had major impacts1 large BGE, Spartanburg SC

I have had the book for about a year now but I wasn't aware of the Netflix show.

Yeah the Netflix show is very well done and easy to breeze through in a day or two.LBGE in Elm Grove, WI

Both the show and series are good, my preference being for the former, which goes into much more detail.
The only thing I didn’t like about the show was Samin’s repetition of “sooo good” with every bite she took. She could take a cue from Mr. Fieri and vary her comments - “Welcome to flavor town!” -

My salt content has 5x since watching the Netflix, though per advise from this forum I did switch to diamond crystal kosher which has much less sodium.

Measured by volume the amount of sodium will vary depending upon the type of crystals/flakes - "fluffier" salts will contain less sodium per teaspoon than finer grain salts simply because there is more air in a teaspoon of a fluffier salt compared to a fine grain table salt.Important to keep in mind that if you are trying to create a brine solution with a specific percentage of sodium to measure the salt by weight.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K.

Started watching this one. Through the fat and salt episodes. Pretty entertaining and informative. Learning quite a bit.

I watched all 4 episodes this evening while my wife was attending an in-service meeting at work.
I especially enjoyed the Fat episode as we will be in Italy in March. Kind of got some ideas for meals while we are there.Marshall in Beautiful Fruit Cove, FL.

Thanks, @HeavyG; since I don't have Netflix I'll dive into the free stuff this coming weekend (supposedly a huge snowstorm approaches...)_____________

Not trying to be an ass here, seriously asking. I watched the first two episodes and other than the diamond crystal salt, what have you all learned that you can use frequently in your cooking?
I'm already a salt snob with at least 6 different ones in the house now so that was just reassuring The Focaccia had some interesting things but I don't really eat bread. I wish they had more of recipes you could start with like the entire braised ribs. Laying out exactly what brands of things they are using...
It's very well done, great cinematography. I like seeing the old ways of doing things, just not sure how I could reproduce most of them here at home.
What did you guys learn?

Holy Crap, that's awesome. I never thought to see if they had a website. Thank you https://eggheadforum.com/profile/HeavyG, that takes care of one of my wishes
