I really liked this book. I like using unusual ingredients, but I don't how to use them. I usually have to follow a recipe to get a spicy taste in my food, but I can't get creative with other dishes. I'm just not creative that way.

When I went to the Spice House, I looked at all of the Craft Salts, I wanted to use them, but didn't have the knowledge. The smoked salts and the infused salts sounded delicious, but I was just too timid to just throw them in a recipe.

This book had a section on the history of salt, which I found interesting, but it was the charts that really caught my interest. Very detailed charts were provided which showed me how to use each salt. A description was given of each salt, and which meat or fish was appropriate. I learned which salts were too delicate, or too overpowering for each ingredient.

This book really helped me use Craft Salts creatively. I look at the charts and I know which Craft Salt is appropriate for salmon, meat, or chicken dishes..

It made using the different salts really easy. I bought the Kindle version because this one is a keeper.
