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!).

On a recent trip to visit the family in Los Angeles, we went for a birthday dinner to Osteria Mozza. It was one of those 3-hour dinners where the food keeps coming and the wine is flowing. I do believe … Continue reading →

Vietnamese Chicken Meatball Goodness

Posted on September 21, 2012 by Salts Kitchen

Returning from a vacation means there is likely nothing in your refrigerator. Depending on the time your flight, ride, or boat arrives in town you may not even have the energy or patience to search the cupboard to see if … Continue reading →

Rich Chocolate Cake with Mocha Buttercream Frosting

Posted on September 20, 2012 by Salts Kitchen

When I was a child I did a lot of baking. Gluten-full baking. As I’ve mentioned, my mother is in the culinary world: there was no shortage of experimenting, new foods, tasting, chopping, and the like in my house. I … Continue reading →

Roasted Cherry Tomato and Sausage over Soft Polenta

Posted on August 27, 2012 by Salts Kitchen

I made dinner recently for a fairly particular eater whom I’d never cooked for before- let’s call him The Writer. It seems he “wants” to be open to new foods, but I’m not really sure how deep that runs. No … Continue reading →

Arugula and Watermelon Salad

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Salts Kitchen

I cannot get enough watermelon this season. Two Happy Children at the Farmers’ Market Downtown sells the most amazing watermelons and currently I’m hooked on the Tiger Melon, a seedless yellow-flesh melon. Continuing on my merry way on the Clean … Continue reading →
