In Sides and Breads you’ll discover tempting flatbreads and pretzel bites, while Drinks and Sweets include Black Olive Martini, Bloody Mary with Celery Salt, and Chocolate Chip Cookies with Sea Salt? Be amazed as the flavours mingle in your mouth. Finally, a chapter of Rubs, Butters and Brines offers you dozens of versatile ways to jazz up grilled meat or fish, vegetable crudités, or crisps. Once you’ve tried Valerie’s stunning recipes you will never look at salt in the same way again.

    I purchased this book as a gift with a collection of salt and another book, Salt A World History. The cover drew me right in, and I copied off several of the recipes before I gifted it, with the actual cookies from the book. The photography is excellent, and the recipes simple and delicious. The only drawback is that there wasn't more recipes!

    This is not a very big cookbook, but some really nice recipes! We already made the peach caprese salad and it was excellent! Served it at a dinner party for 8 and there were no scpraps left. I did substitute the honey with a blood orange olive oil and it really gave a nice flavor.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    I have been very interested in salt of late and this cookbook provides both a pleasing presentation with great photos and nice recipes. There is not a lot to this cookbook so if you are looking for the "Complete" works of salt cookbooks there are others. But if your interest is general and you are looking for ideas to give you a head start. This is a good one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is a lot of Salt, but Awesome
    Reviewed in Canada on February 11, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This is a fantastic cook book and you will learn more about salt then you ever thought possible. You look at some of these recipes and expect them to taste like pure salt as they use cups of salt but they don’t and they taste great. The Indian Spice Leg of Lamb uses two and a half cups of salt and doesn’t taste overly salty, though don’t try to make a gravy out of the drippings as that is where two and half cups of salt go to. The drinks, desserts, spices and brines actually make you appreciate salt more and every time I have made something from this book I have not been let down.

    I found this book very expensive for the size of it. I was expecting alot more info on actually cooking with salt. Instead, it was just a small cookbook, and expensive for what you get.
