The lightness of a popover and the richness of a fritatta...my perfect paring for any meal.  This recipe can be adapted to fit what ever you like with you morning or evening egg dishes. I used sausage and potatoes with fontina cheese. But you could do spinach and goat cheese with sun dried tomatoes or ham with potatoes and gruyere. Parmesan with pancetta and arugula would be lovely as well.  Just about any flavor combination you love would work.  The batter is less eggs with the balance of the base coming from flour.  I used chick pea flour but all purpose [...]

My favorite roast chicken recipe is the spatchcock one we have on our web page. Although it does call for a slathering of butter...so I recently discovered this recipe posted on FOOD52 by Emily C which calls for brining the bird in buttermilk and pickle juice...with a soupcon of Sous Salt of course.  So if you want to avoid the consumption of butter this is a lovely alternative which she derives from the preparation of fried chicken for flavor and tenderness. ingredients 1 whole chicken 1 c buttermilk 1 c pickle juice (any type) 1 t Sous Salt Herb and & [...]

Browning the chicken before you add the water gives this stock a beautiful amber color and a richness adding flavor to anything you use this stock in.  From soups to stews to pasta sauces there isn't anything more tasty than home made chicken stock and it doesn't take that much time to do.  When I know I'm going to be home working on recipes or the computer I put a pot on the stove and it's ready when I'm finished with working. There really is no comparison to a boxed or canned stock with this homemade version. Just try it once...I [...]

It’s almost summer time... which in our Salty house means that pasta frequently becomes the vehicle for the delivery of our evening culinary experience! At room temperature or cold a pasta salad can deliver all the wonderful tastes you need to satisfy your palette. Whether you want to include pancetta or roasted chicken or keep it vegetarian, a one dish meal can be prepared early in the day and enjoyed easily at the end of it.  I love this recipe especially because of the sweet little roasted tomatoes and the feta which becomes creamy and adds a richness to the pasta.  [...]

You can't go wrong with this Sous Salt recipe and the options you will have using these lovely little roasted tomato gems in your cooking.  Whether you decide that you like them roasted longer which will give you a dryer tomato result or on the shorter side which provides a more moist tomato the results are terrific, tasty and transforming. I use a combination of the yellow and red tomatoes they seem to be the sweetest.  If you have a green thumb like my sister and grow your own in your garden even better. Your combinations are almost limitless. Once roasted you can put them [...]
