Salt: Eat It If You Dare



Britain Gets an Education on Salt

For years here in UK there have been many stigmas about salt: its use, overuse, and how bad it is for us. This is about to change!

It's time to educate Britain on the unique powers of salt.  America's leading “Selmelier,” or salt expert, Mark Bitterman is coming to London to change the way the population views and uses salt in everyday life. He has a vast knowledge of salt acquired over many years of traveling the world.  Mark will look to share his knowledge along with the facts, and he challenges us to look behind the iodized curtain and discover what a difference salt can make to our food and the way we cook.

Mark is the author of “Salted, a Manifesto on the World's Most Essential Mineral, with Recipes” a best seller in the USA and winner of The James Beard Award. He will be launching this book in the UK along with his other title “Salt Block Cooking” on the 4th September at an event in London. Mark will be talking about changing the type of salt we use in our food as well as addressing the history, science and the misuse of salt in the modern world.

Mark's visit is expected to be very busy with TV/Radio and media interviews, along with presentations, teaching master classes and demonstrating the art of cooking on salt slabs.

SaltWorks, America's Sea Salt Company, launches in the UK on the 4th September with 60 new artisan, smoked and fusion salts along with a collection of 9 Himalayan Salt slabs used for cooking, curing, searing, freezing and presenting food.

Notes:

Mark Bitterman is in London 3rd – 8th September 2014.

SaltWorks launches at Divertimenti, on the Brompton Road on the 4th September 2014.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
