Sea Salt, Sea Salt, Sea Salt.....where do I begin? Simply put, do not use anything else for your seasoning purposes when cooking. Great, solid, consistent cooking is all about the little things. Sea salt is a huge detail in how your cooking of a recipe tastes. In my case, Baliene sea salt is my salt of choice when it comes to the dish's I serve. Throughout my career, sea salt in one form or another has always played a key role. Sea salt comes from various parts of the world including Cayman Islands, Greece, Hawaii, and Cape Cod. However, in my opinion, the french sea salt fits my palate the best. It is extremely interesting how each salt has it's own distinct characteristics of that region of the world. Salt is a double sided sword in the sense that it can be your best friend or worst enemy. Food that is over-salted can not be eaten and under salted food taste like what your mother use to make for dinner. The careful balance of seasoning with salt can take an good dish to a great dish in one pinch. I do not know any other ingredient that can that. JM








Double kudos on the sea salt! Just add some freshly cracked pepper to that and that's a simple, but perfect seasoning match made in heaven!

Who doesn't love salty foods anyway? It brings out the flavor and remove any stinky smell of the dish.
