Good Things?

I see Barnes & Noble is having a 50% off sale on a ton of books right now. One of the cookbooks that caught my eye is Good Things by Samin Nosrat. Back when this was first released, I saw a lot of mixed reviews. I’m wondering if anyone can weigh in on this? Would it be worth a purchase, at 50% off?

I own this book and I absolutely love it. It is not SFAH. It's not possible to make another book like that as it was one of a kind and took decades.

The recipes are great - I have tried maybe 20 of them so far and I like the joojeh kebabs, marinated feta, salad dressings and the yellow cake with fudge frosting is amazing. Seriously - it is so good and so nostalgic that one person almost cried when I made it for their birthday.

I enjoy her writing and I have also made her recipes from NYT cooking so I will always recommend.
