What if a present could unwrap your future? This festive season join Kat Graham, Quincy Brown, and Ethan Peck as they uncover the magic of The Holiday Calendar.
Sure, the Netflix documentary, “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” is a short, four part series that is an educational, highly informative show based on the excellent and eponymous cookbook, starring Cookbook Author and all-around Unicorn of Joy and Delight™ Samin Nosrat, but consider the following problematic details:
Samin (Imma call her Samin, bc I just feel like I KNOW HER) speaks Spanish and Italian on screen and viewers are treated to watching her be just as cute in more than one language
Samin interviews little Italian and Mexican grandmas and little artisanal Japanese lady miso producers and Samin’s Mom
Samin features small craft producers
The pesto-making was just Too Much
Lotsa women chefs and business owners on screen, almost like Samin made it a priority to upend the bro-tocracy present on too many cooking/food travel shows in order to highlight non-corporate producers of actually nurturing food
So many ladies. Much women. So wow.
I want Samin’s kitchen
Too many cute scarves, and apparently waxed cotton jackets are sexy now
Samin gets to eat gelato on screen and I don’t
The documentary fails to allow me to lick the food through the screen
Beautiful scenery I can’t afford to travel to immediately
The completely adorable way Samin says “wow” when she tastes something amazing
Tahdig
The poetic butcher guy talking about how pretty his pigs are
Samin’s full throated laughter
SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE GIVES REALLY GOOD HUGS
I am gluten intolerant and That Foccacia is Too Delicious and there is no Lactaid for bread
Culturally competent, non-voyeuristic conversations with foreign food producers that don’t involve Frat-Boy Hijinks or competitive alcohol consumption. Seriously, it’s like if the curious, openhearted bakers on GBBO from the Richard/Chetna/Nancy/Martha season all had an international travel show that was respectful of the host’s culture and of viewer’s intelligence, except it’s all wrapped up in one curly-haired, zaftig Unicorn of Joy and Delight™, Samin Nosrat
Just. Samin is a real-sized, non-model woman who gets to eat on screen. She visibly enjoys eating. Not once is she judgmental about anything, ever. I love her nose, and her smile, and her curls, and just. Samin.
I legit cried in the last episode when she talked about cooking being an act of service, an expression of love.
Anyway, I am going to marry Samin Nosrat and also probably spend too much money on parmesan cheese and miso. This show is problematic because there are only four episodes, but anyway, go watch “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.”
News of the cancellation comes four months after the superhero action drama from Marvel Television debuted its second season on the streaming service — and just days after Netflix pulled the plug on another Marvel show, Iron Fist.
“Unfortunately, Marvel’sLuke Cage will not return for a third season. Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is grateful to the dedicated showrunner, writers, cast and crew who brought Harlem’s Hero to life for the past two seasons, and to all the fans who have supported the series,” Netflix and Marvel Television said in a joint statement.
A source tells Variety that talks for a third season had taken place, but that Netflix ultimately decided that one would not be feasible.
With the move, Netflix severs further ties with Marvel as the producer prepares to shift gears toward providing content for parent company Disney’s yet to launch streaming services. Disney has already indicated that it will allow its licensing deals with Marvel to expire so that library content can be moved to Disney-owned services. That decision would not have any affect on series such as Luke Cage, which are produced by Disney for Netflix.
LukeCage was part of a five-series deal between Marvel and Netflix for a group of interconnected shows — Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Defenders. Another series, The Punisher, was also later added to the mix.
Nearly a year after sending shockwaves through the TV community with her move to Netlfix, Shonda Rhimes has unveiled the full slate of eight series she is currently working on for the streaming giant.
