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!).

You don’t scare me Risotto

Posted on July 2, 2011 by Salts Kitchen

The first time I ever made risotto was my freshman year of college. I mean, I’d helped in the kitchen, done the stirring, added things, but I’d never made it from start to finish. Then I went to my friend’s … Continue reading →

Basic Tomato Sauce (or, the first 6 pounds of 25)

Posted on June 20, 2011 by Salts Kitchen
