Salt and the Art of Seasoning
From Curing to Charring and Baking to Brining, Techniques and Recipes to Help You Achieve Extraordinary Flavours
James Strawbridge New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Aiming to raise the status of salt to ‘essential gourmet ingredient’ James Strawbridge explains that in its unrefined form it offers minerals as well as flavour-enhancing properties. He explores the different types and profiles his favourites before presenting recipes that rely on curing and fermenting, such as beef jerky and kimchi, and dishes such as smoked tofu katsu and salted caramel sauce.
