My husband and I recently went with a few friends to a fabulous cooking demonstration where we learned the art of garnishing foods with glistening gourmet finishing salts. This morning, I came downstairs to find this little display of amazing salts…a surprise gift from my husband! I love to prepare foods for visiting friends and family; and the various colors, textures, and flavors of these shimmering salts will be fun to experiment with!
I like viewing this image best on the black background.
@cejaanderson Thanks, Jane! We had never heard of them before the chef's demonstration. I'm excited to read about and taste each one so that I can pair them with appropriate recipes. They can be sprinkled on top of foods before serving, or a pretty dish of salt can be set on the serving table with a salt spoon for guests to use themselves!
Like the way you showed off your wonderful gift (thoughtful husband!) - love reflections. The idea sounds intriguing - had never heard of the concept before.
@janetb Thank you so much, Milanie! The way the little jars are arranged is exactly how Mike set them up for me to find...he's such a great guy. We just celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary in July. I can't believe how fast time flies by! :-)
Awesome on black and really shows off the reflections of the jars!! Great shot and what a great husband and surprise!!!! I love surprises but my husband hates them. How can anyone hate a surprise? LOL What will be the first thing you cook with them? FAV!
@cashew Thank you so much for your kind comment! Last night, I made a salad dressing leaving out the traditional table salt. My husband and I each chose a finishing salt to fling on top. I chose the Fleur de Sel...the shimmering, delicate crystals from France added delightful bursts of unique, salty flavor! My husband chose the Black Pyramid...the black, pyramid-shaped crystals from the Mediterranean added a welcome, salty crunch and fun, interesting color to the greens! :-)
