Book cover for Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat
The primary role that salt plays in cooking is to amplify flavor. Though salt also affects texture and helps modify other flavors, nearly every decision you’ll make about salt will involve enhancing and deepening flavor.

“The heart is something else. Nobody knows what's going to happen,' I said”
Richard Brautigan, In Watermelon Sugar

Lydia Davis
“I had had a feeling of freedom because of the sudden change in my life. By comparison to what had come before, I felt immensely free. But then, once I became used to that freedom, even small tasks became more difficult. I placed constraints on myself, and filled the hours of the day. Or perhaps it was even more complicated than that. Sometimes I did exactly what I wanted to do all day—I lay on the sofa and read a book, or I typed up an old diary—and then the most terrifying sort of despair would descend on me: the very freedom I was enjoying seemed to say that what I did in my day was arbitrary, and that therefore my whole life and how I spent it was arbitrary.”
Lydia Davis, Can't and Won't

“We think we understand the rules when we become adults but what we really experience is a narrowing of the imagination.”
David Lynch
