Salt in all its forms is a hot culinary trend. 
It enhances any savory dish and makes the taste buds sing. 

In this beautiful book, top cook and food stylist Valerie Aikman-Smith introduces you to all kinds of salts, from Hawaiian Red Alaea Salt to Jurassic Salt. Once you've tried Valerie's stunning recipes you will never look at salt in the same way again.



Halmstad’s Falksalt is a small family owned company in Halmstad founded in 1830, and is now the dominant salt brand in Sweden. Both professionals and consumers prefer their brand because their focus is on salt and salt only. Being a small family owned company they put their heart into meeting customers' requests, no matter where they're from.
