About the book:
From the bestselling author of 
Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat
--and one of America's most beloved chefs and teachers--125 meticulously tested, flavor-forward, soul-nourishing recipes that bring joy and a sense of communion
With all the generosity of spirit that has endeared her to millions of fans, Samin Nosrat offers more than 125 of her favorite recipes--simply put, the things she most loves to cook for herself and for friends--and infuses them with all the beauty and care you would expect from the person Alice Waters called "America's next great cooking teacher." As Samin says, "Recipes, like rituals, endure because they're passed down to us--whether by ancestors, neighbors, friends, strangers on the internet, or me to you. A written recipe is just a shimmering decoy for the true inheritance: the thread of connection that cooking it will unspool."
Good Things
 is an essential, joyful guide to cooking and living, whether you're looking for a comforting tomato soup to console a struggling friend, seeking a deeper sense of connection in your life, or hosting a dinner for ten in your too-small dining room. Here you'll find go-to recipes for ricotta custard pancakes, a showstopping roast chicken burnished with saffron, a crunchy, tingly Calabrian chili crisp, super-chewy sky-high focaccia, and a decades-in-the-making, childhood-evoking yellow cake with chocolate frosting. Along the way, you'll also find plenty of tips, techniques, and lessons, from how to buy olive oil (check the harvest date) to when to splurge (salad dressing is where you want to use your best ingredients) to the best uses for your pressure cooker (chicken stock and dulce de leche, naturally).
Good Things
 captures, with Samin's trademark blend of warmth, creativity, and precision, what has made cooking such an important source of delight and comfort in her life.

The birthplace of country music in the United States, the music capital, is a must-visit for young people and music lovers. The locals are very friendly and the overall cost is not expensive. The city center is very prosperous with many parking spaces. It is very lively at night with various live performances on the bar street. The local specialty BBQ and fried chicken are worth recommending, they are delicious and not expensive. It is a good choice for young people to travel by car or for family travel!

As the music city of the United States, it is essential to visit the Hall of Fame to learn about American country music. It is a very beautiful place with a lot of information. You can also listen to and learn about many classic old songs. It is one of the most recommended attractions here.

[Scenery] Even if you are not a huge country music fan, you can still be attracted by the entertainment factor of this place. I especially like the format of the performances here, as well as the number and range of movements. The entire performance will be broadcast live on the radio. The atmosphere is good, relaxed, friendly, and classic American music can also be heard. There is a small drawback, that is, the price of drinks is too high. If the price is reasonable, I believe more will be sold.
