5.0

Another installment of our poly cookbook club—this is the best so far! Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is a fantastic book. Not only does it have solid recipes, but it’s written in a way that builds on itself to make cooking concepts easy for everyone from beginners to chefs.

Our group had few complaints and plenty of compliments for this month’s recipes. My recipe was Sage and Honey Smoked Chocken, and it was absolutely delicious! The honey and sage brine made the chicken juicy and sweet, and the hint of smoke made the perfect counterpoint to the crispy honey glazed skin. I served it with Tomato Confit, and together they’re incredibly flavorful. The recipe will make a return for the summer for sure.
