SAMIN NOSRAT & GUITTARD
GOOD THINGS BUNDLE

Good Things Bundle:

Stock your pantry with some of the Good Things Samin recommends  - including chocolate, because in her words “quality cocoa and chocolate make all the difference in baking.”  She recommends Dutch-process cocoa for the darker, smooth flavor, and chocolate chips for when you want your cookies to have intact chip-shapes of chocolate distributed throughout the cookie and baking chocolate like bars, wafers and disks with a higher percentage of cocoa butter to encourage melting. This bundle includes a copy of Good Things, some of Samin’s favorite chocolate products; Guittard Cocoa Rouge, Guittard Organic Akoma 55% cacao Baking Chips, and Guittard 64% cacao Baking Wafers to help you bring to life her recipes (and yours).  The Good Things Bundle comes with a Guittard Tote ready to gift or to use on your next trip to the market and a portion of the proceeds benefit Oakland International High School.

About Samin Nosrat & Good Things:  

SAMIN NOSRAT is a cook, teacher, and author of the James Beard Award-winning # 1 New York Times bestseller Salt Fat Acid Heat (April 2017) and Good Things (September 2025). She was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People and Chef of the Year by Eater. She is the co-host (with Hrishikesh Hirway) of the Home Cooking podcast, a former columnist at The New York Times Magazine, and the host of the Netflix original documentary series based on Salt Fat Acid Heat. She lives in Oakland, California.   

In Good Things, Samin offers more than 125 of her favorite recipes and infuses them with all the passion, creativity and precision you would expect from the person Alice Waters called “America’s next great cooking teacher.”   Samin recommends pantry ingredients to have on hand to help bring to life her creations and yours — including chocolate, of course.   Her view is that “quality cocoa and chocolate make all the difference in baking”. She recommends Dutch-process cocoa for the darker, smooth flavor, and chocolate chips for when you want your cookies to have intact chip-shapes of chocolate distributed throughout the cookie and baking chocolate like bars, wafers and disks with a higher percentage of cocoa butter to encourage melting.   We are honored that Samin calls out Guittard Cocoa Rouge, Akoma 55% cacao baking chips, and 64% cacao baking bars as some of the Good Things she keeps in her pantry.

The final chapter in her book, All Good Things Come to an End, is dedicated to sweets.  We couldn’t agree more with Samin’s view that pleasure is “an essential part of the human experience... and that means always saying yes to dessert.”  Amongst the 125 Good Things recipes, you’ll find a one-bowl chocolate cake, burnt honey hot fudge and a nostalgic yellow cake with fudge frosting.
