GOOD THINGS: An Evening with Samin Nosrat

Chef and writer Samin Nosrat is coming to Portland’s Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on Wednesday, October 15 for an uplifting evening of stories about her life and writing about food and the culinary rituals she shares with close friends. On stage, with a local host, this special evening with Samin Nosrat is about creativity, connection and how cooking can not only nourish our bodies but also satiate our desire for kinship and community.  

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, Samin 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's eagerly awaited follow-up to Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, a cookbook titled GOOD THINGS: RECIPES AND RITUALS TO SHARE WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVEGOOD 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.

VIP tickets ($162.75) include a a copy of Nosrat’s latest book, Good Things.
