Hi, I’m James Whitmore, the creator behind Salt Evangelist. If there is one ingredient I believe deserves more respect, it is salt. Not because it makes food salty, but because it makes food come alive. Salt highlights sweetness, softens bitterness, sharpens acidity, and deepens savoriness. It is not just seasoning. It is transformation.
