In the heart of Oakland, California, lies a small house surrounded by an abundance of nature. This is the residence of Chef Samin Nosrat, a culinary sensation who was inducted into Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2017.

The property, nestled within a shared garden plot, boasts overgrown roses, lush tomato patches, and heavy-laden passion fruit vines. It's a serene setting that seems to mirror the chef's approach to cooking – simple, organic, and full of flavour.

Inside, Samin shares her space with a six-year-old terrier named Fava. The only other resident is the tranquillity that permeates the home.

Samin's culinary journey began with the release of her first cookbook, which followed her induction into the influential list. A Netflix series was subsequently produced, further cementing her place in the culinary world.

Eight years after her first book, Samin released her second, titled "Something Good." The release date for this highly anticipated book is September 19, 2023.

The shared garden plot where Samin's house stands also accommodates a young family and four single women. It's a community that seems to thrive on the shared love for nature and good food.

Despite her global influence, Samin remains grounded in her local community, a testament to her humble beginnings and enduring love for the simple pleasures of life.
