In conversation with Hrishikesh Hirway
Location: The Eisemann Center
In 2017 chef and writer Samin Nosrat shared her simple but revolutionary cooking philosophy with us in Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. She then adapted the lessons of the #1 New York Times bestseller into a beloved limited series of the same name for Netflix. And during the pandemic, she launched the Home Cooking podcast with Hrishikesh Hirway, sharing both her depth of knowledge and her joy for cooking with fans across the world. Over the years, she has become a trusted kitchen companion to millions of fans through her warm and endearing and deeply human approach to cooking, its processes, and its pleasures.
On September 16, 2025, Random House will publish Samin Nosrat's eagerly awaited follow-up to Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, a cookbook titled Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with the People You Love. Good Things offers more than 125 of her favorite recipes—simply put, the things she most loves to cook for herself and her friends—and infuses them with her trademark blend of warmth, creativity, and precision.
Hrishi Hirway and Nosrat first met on the eve of the publication of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat in 2017. Since then, they have bonded over their shared love of word play, cookies, and small, fluffy dogs. In 2020 they launched Home Cooking, a podcast aimed to keep folks company while stuck at home during the COVID-19 lockdown. Though the pandemic has largely subsided, their mutual torture of one another will continue (much to the delight of their audience) with a new eight-episode season later this year.
This event does not include a book signing; however, signed copies of Good Things will be available for purchase on-site while supplies last.
TICKET PRICES: $40–$120 based on seat location
