A revolutionary “New” way to cook with author of the book Salted, by Mark Bitterman.
In 1986, Mark Bitterman sat in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in France staring dumbfounded at his steak.
Firm in texture, it was superb! Each bite hit the taste buds with layers of richness and complexity – much like a fine wine. Quite simply, it was the best steak he’d ever tasted.
Being a lover of good food and good eating, Mark just HAD to find out what made it taste so delicious.
The secret, he found out wasn’t the type of steak. It wasn’t a complex or technical method of grilling. It wasn’t even any special expertise from the chef. No, the secret, Mark discovered… was salt!
Yes, Salt.
It turns out… if you have the right kind of salt, you can utterly transform food.
You can transform bland, unappetizing vegetables into snack-like treats.
You can elevate sweet desserts like ice-cream, brownies, or cookies to new heights.
You can intensify the bold, muscular flavor of steak, lamb, and roasts.
But what’s the “right kind” of salt? How do you use it properly? And why does it make such a difference to your food?
To answer these questions and discuss several other common myths about salt, we brought in leading salt expert (and our major inspiration), Mark Bitterman, for a conversation on using salt to reinvent everyday cooking.
Mark is an award winning speaker, author, and expert on culinary salt. His bestselling book, Salted: A Manifesto on the World’s Most Essential Mineral, won the 2011 James Beard Award for Scholarship and Reference.
Mark regularly lectures at culinary schools such as the French Culinary Institute, the Institute of Culinary Education, and Le Cordon Bleu. And he’s been featured in a range of media, including The New York Times, The Atlantic, Rachael Ray, Wine Spectator, Esquire, All Things Considered, CBS News, ABC News, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN.
His specialty store, The Meadow, carries the largest selection of artisan salt and cocktail bitters in the world – along with a curated selection of fine chocolate bars.
