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!).

Tom’s Banana Cream Pie

My favorite flannel-wearing, softball-playing, Allandale-living, antique-shopping friend requested a banana cream pie for his birthday. I couldn’t find a lactose free (yet not vegan or tofu-full) recipe for the pudding so I decided to make one up. Using coconut cream … Continue reading

Chocolate and Chocolate Ganache Tart

I recently took a vegan and gluten-free baking class at Thai Fresh with Kaylee. What a wonderful way to spend a cold evening: in the Thai Fresh kitchen with a handful of folks standing around an island heated by the … Continue reading

Holiday Chocolate Bark

Last minute holiday shopping? Want something pretty that doesn’t break the bank? Hostess gift? Thank you gift? White Elephant? The answer is almost always chocolate. I love making bark during the holidays. There are so many toppings to choose from … Continue reading
