Summary
After 20 years of making an award-winning sea salt the Lea-Wilson family have put together a collection of recipes on how to showcase this often misunderstood and misused ingredient。
A core part of cooking， correct seasoning is what separates a good meal from a great one。 It isn’t a simple case of how much is used but when these salty crystals are used: at the beginning of meal prep to help sunny tomatoes sing; dusting your meat just before cooking to help the salty char form and the meat stay juicy; or right at the very end scattered over a chocolate torte to make it all the more chocolate-y。 And where would we be without the perfect combination of delicate sea salt and caramel？
Just as crucial is how sea salt is used: as a brine， cure， key component in pickle or in flora and fauna kissed by the sea。
Covering the basics from low-fuss ‘cooking’ with raw ingredients in simple salads and the perfect salted butter， to salty snacks and comfort food for rainy days。 As well as providing a masterclass in seasoning with spectacular dishes from seafood cooked over fire， a Reuben sandwich from scratch or even the perfect fritto misto that will keep you coming back for more。 Not forgetting some perfectly balanced drinks with a hint of sea salt to enhance their flavour。
These recipes from the Anglesey-based family will help alter how you use salt in all aspects of your cooking， making it work harder and bring better seasoned dishes to your table。

Gorgeous book！ The pictures and ideas used in this book were just amazing。 Such a ton of ideas for a condiment as simple as sea salt！ From churning butter to brining…。 So many uses and such an important spice。 I would definitely love a seat at this family’s table。 Five stars！ I received a complimentary copy to read and voluntarily left a review！

Contrary to all the bad things we read about salt， it really isn't that bad for us and allows are not only to flavour our food but preserves it。The recipes at the beginning of the book uses sea salt to enhance the flavour of the dish - and the recipes are for both raw and cooked dishes， easy to make with a special ingredient of salt added The rest of the book features dishes that require salt to pickle or fermenting or in curing and brining。。 The recipes are easy to make at home and are quite go Contrary to all the bad things we read about salt， it really isn't that bad for us and allows are not only to flavour our food but preserves it。The recipes at the beginning of the book uses sea salt to enhance the flavour of the dish - and the recipes are for both raw and cooked dishes， easy to make with a special ingredient of salt added The rest of the book features dishes that require salt to pickle or fermenting or in curing and brining。。 The recipes are easy to make at home and are quite good for your health as well/Lovely book， with great recipes and photos。 。。。more

I was lucky enough to meet Jen and her mum Alison at Harwarden， Wales just before the launch of this book。 I had spotted this as a possible request prior to meeting them， but their descriptions and enthusiasm for all things sea salt decided me on putting in a request to review。The book was a family lockdown project （as outlined in the introduction） and has seven sections - Raw seasoning， Hot Seasoning， Brining， Pickling & Fermenting， Curing， Flavours of the sea， Seasoned Sweets & Drinks。 The rec I was lucky enough to meet Jen and her mum Alison at Harwarden， Wales just before the launch of this book。 I had spotted this as a possible request prior to meeting them， but their descriptions and enthusiasm for all things sea salt decided me on putting in a request to review。The book was a family lockdown project （as outlined in the introduction） and has seven sections - Raw seasoning， Hot Seasoning， Brining， Pickling & Fermenting， Curing， Flavours of the sea， Seasoned Sweets & Drinks。 The recipes are straightforward and they are accompanied by beautiful photographs。 I have many post it notes of recipes to try， however the brining section in particular was a revelation。 At Harwarden the brined lemon sole recipe was mentioned and was the one that had me hooked。 I tried the recipe with sea bass fillets which worked a treat。 The fish fillets are only brined for 15 minutes in a salt heb mix but wow what a difference it makes to flavour and texture。 I would highly recommend this and next will try the brined chicken wings - brining is a popular cooking method in the USA so I have been down many a Google rabbit hole investigating this further！I will be continuing cooking （and eating） my way through this book all summer and hope you will too。！My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for allowing access to this ARC。 。。。more

Everything you need to know about salt， and more is included in Sea Salt: A Perfectly Seasoned Cookbook。 This cookbook is different than expected because although there are appealing recipes for dishes most will want to serve， it presents dozens of recipes to make sauces and condiments to go with your favorite meats， poultry， and other dishes。 Of course every recipe contains salt， but as the book points out， not all salts are the same， and different kinds of salt go better in some recipes。 Actua Everything you need to know about salt， and more is included in Sea Salt: A Perfectly Seasoned Cookbook。 This cookbook is different than expected because although there are appealing recipes for dishes most will want to serve， it presents dozens of recipes to make sauces and condiments to go with your favorite meats， poultry， and other dishes。 Of course every recipe contains salt， but as the book points out， not all salts are the same， and different kinds of salt go better in some recipes。 Actually， the book is fascinating for anyone who wonders about the diverse world of salt; sea salt is especially trendy right now。 While this isn’t an all-purpose cookbook， it is worth purchasing just to learn about the kinds of salt， their uses， and a primer on salting in order to cure foods。 The book is filled with salads， soup， pizzas， mouthwatering desserts， and salted meats and fish。 Also included are gorgeous photographs of most of the recipes。 Because the authors， who own a salt company， are foreign the recipes are interesting and unique。 Their salt is gathered from a coastline in Wales and the recipes reflect the influence of the region。 While this isn’t a cookbook for those who don’t enjoy cooking and learning about ingredients， most foodies will love the information and want to fill their refrigerators with the condiments and sauces to serve with their favorite foods。 Some of the recipes seem like a challenge， but are worth trying。 Who knew that salt was so important and interesting？ Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book。 。。。more

The most aesthetically pleasing cookbook I’ve seen in a while。 This cookbook is perfect for the foodie in your life。 The recipes are not your run of the mill average recipes。 These are fancy but not fussy。 I don’t know that I’ll be trying venison tartare anytime soon but I could！

ARC from NetGalleyI enjoyed this book a lot， a lot of cook books just re hash the same material this one had a good variety with a hero ingredient at the centre， namely sea salt。 Very Welsh， with the Welsh language on almost every page somewhere which was great to see。 Pictures are beautiful and the text is easy to read and recipes easy to follow。 That said， this is an expensive food cookbook。 Expensive for time and ingredients， it's not for everyday cooking， this isn't a fault its just worth me ARC from NetGalleyI enjoyed this book a lot， a lot of cook books just re hash the same material this one had a good variety with a hero ingredient at the centre， namely sea salt。 Very Welsh， with the Welsh language on almost every page somewhere which was great to see。 Pictures are beautiful and the text is easy to read and recipes easy to follow。 That said， this is an expensive food cookbook。 Expensive for time and ingredients， it's not for everyday cooking， this isn't a fault its just worth mentioning。Favourite recipe would be the toasted milk cookies， cocktails and the foccacia recipe。 。。。more
