A Love for Salt
A seasoned gift. I'm Anthony Dias Blue with the Blue Lifestyle Minute sponsored by CUISINART. Salt is so much more than a drink rimmer or a chip’s sidekick. Mark Bitterman explores the nuanced properties of this seasoning in his book Salted: A Manifesto on the World’s Most Essential Mineral. Serving as “selmelier” at Portland, Oregon’s The Meadow, a critically acclaimed artisan-product boutique, Bitterman has channeled his far-reaching knowledge into a field guide to artisan salts, including the history of salt making, a reference guide, and a compilation of specialty recipes. Salted profiles 80 varieties of salt, ranging from the fleur de sel harvested from Celtic plantations to exotic rock salts found in the Sahara. The practical application portion includes recipes for everything from mango salsa with Hawaiian black lava salt to salt crust–roasted partridge with figs and chocolate. SALTED is available in stores and online for $35, from Ten Speed Press.
Love to use saffron with fish dishes. This was a perfect find salt and saffron. I will return for more.
This is so wonderful on plain popcorn…yakes me to italy with minimal calories, but full flavor…lick out the bowl delish!
I loved the carefully packaged order. It came with a hand written note and you can tell how much they care about details and quality of their products. I will be purchasing more gifts from them for sure
This salt is one of the most glorious salty flavors I've ever experienced. Yes, I add it to this dish and that ... and sometimes I just take a taste of it, as is, to savor.
We love this basic salt that is not necessarily basic. We use it daily. It is a staple in our kitchen.
