About Salts Kitchen

I write. I eat. And I cook. I write about what I cook and eat. I love finding new foods, being inspired to make something I've never made, and most of all I love feeding other people things that they have never tried before. I like disproving myths about food and what it means to eat well, to eat healthy, often on a budget, and for some of us- to eat with a bunch of food allergies (and still eat well!).

Posted on June 30, 2012 by Salts Kitchen

Oh potatoes. I can’t say I generally choose potatoes first. But sometimes, just sometimes, there’s a potato dish that really and truly hits the spot. It’s potato season and I saw some beautiful fingerlings at the farmers’ markets over the … Continue reading →
