Salt is one of the most common ingredients in cooking, yet, there's so much more to explore beyond our everyday habits. New culinary choices for salt have crystallized into a wonderful complexity of fresh tastes and serving options for this element.

IN THIS ISSUE, we're exploring salt at a deeper level with a focus on the various types of salts, and their role as the final, finishing flourish to our foods. We showcase finishing salts in a super-easy goat cheese appetizer, soft and chewy pretzels, and a sweet treat, homemade salted caramels.
