We watched the first episode of Salt Fat Acid Heat today, and it was as delightful as I'd heard. It's a four-episode Netflix miniseries based on a cookbook by Samin Nosrat, and the premise is basically her going around the world, eating things and delighting in the deliciousness of food. The first episode is all about fat and therefore set in Italy, where Nosrat shares the delights of olive oil, pork, Parmesan cheese, and egg pasta. There are many wonderful things about it, but maybe the best is seeing a non-slender woman of color eating food without apology, obviously taking joy in every bite. I look forward to watching the rest.

The only downside is now I want to go to Italy and eat all the delicious Italian food.
