Swiss cherry torte. White cake, very fluffy whipped icing and a cherry topping.

The Secret Ingredient: Smoked Salt

Easy to make yourself. Just place some salt on a cookie sheet in a grill with some soaked wood chips.

I use it in almost anything I would normally use regular salt with, even some baked items!

And want something simple but amazing? Popcorn with smoked salt. (Or corn on the cob.)

Don't think complicated. The simpler the better.

Cook the Book: 'Canal House Cooking, Vol. 1'

Very basic... homemade salsa with very fresh vegetables.

Healthy & Delicious: Cherry Lemonade

So roughly how many cherries (volume... pint, etc.) is a half pound? I'm never good at estimating weight when purchasing ingredients.

From Serious Eats

Cook the Book: 'Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries & Shakes'

Snapshots From Italy: Hammer Your Spears

Grilled with olive oil and smoked (grill) coarse salt is amazing.

If you're not careful, the asparagus can burn before it gets to the desired texture (whatever you prefer) so I zap the bunch for 60-90 seconds first.

Salt Explained

Course salt "smoked" on a grill. Awesome in recipes are even on popcorn.

Do You Put Ranch Dressing on Pizza?

Funny... kids (middle school) where I teach just started doing the ranch dip recently. Catching on like crazy.
