Common questions
Does Salt Fat Heat publish its own recipes?
No. It reports on dishes and the techniques that decide whether they work, drawing on what named publications, cooks and food writers have published, and each piece links to the original. Nothing here is a tested method of ours to follow blindly.
What are the sections for?
Dishes and Techniques are the two spines that cross each other, Ingredients and Equipment support them, and Cooking for groups pieces by who is at the table. News carries everything in the order it landed.
Where does the cooking information come from?
From named cookery publications, chefs, food scientists and manufacturers, credited and linked in the piece that summarises them. A claim about how a technique behaves belongs to the source that made it.
Is there food safety guidance here?
Only as reported. Where a piece touches temperatures, storage or allergens it names the authority behind the guidance, and the authority's own current wording is what you should follow. Nothing on this site is a substitute for it.
Is there a person behind each article?
They are written with automated assistance from the source material and published without a personal byline, with the source credited where an author would appear. Nobody here claims to have cooked the dish.
How do I keep up without checking the site?
Point a reader at /feed.xml, which carries every piece as it publishes. That is the only subscription route, since there is no newsletter and no sign-up.
