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.

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.
