review 1: I heard about this book from Lynn Rosetta Casper's "The Splendid Table" podcast. It is a very comprehensive compendium on salt, its history, and its uses. I had no idea that there are that many varieties of salt in the world. Mark Bitterman, a selmelier, owns an artisanal boutique that sells salt. The extensive reference guide in the center of the book tells you more than you will ever need to know about salt and its uses. A beautiful book, with illustrations and recipes. You will learn that salt - the correct type - is not bad for you, and can transform the food that you are eating.
review 2: I really wanted to like this book, as it has after all, been on my to-read list forever. I like the author and his cooking. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this... more was And it is very apparent from this manifesto, that the man knows his salt and how to use it. I had no idea there were so many different kinds of salt (over 100) or so many ways to get it. It was a little bit too detailed and over the top for my needs, but for those wanting to know more about salt, this is a great reference guide. It seemed a bit like a plug for his store that he opened in Oregon, i.e. use fancy salt, which you can buy here. 2 stars. less
