I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day spent with friends and family!
This week's Tuesday Takeaway is sponsored by Arbon Publishing - who has graciously offered to give away a copy of "The Salt Book: Your guide to salting wisely and well, with recipes" to one lucky winner.
This book does a great job of offering the reader a great introduction to the fundamentals of salts, discussing types of salt and how to use them in the wisest of ways with a variety of techniques including brining, pickling, curing and preserving.
The book advocates for healthy eating: "An important part of being 'salt wise' is eating well. We need to take the time to prepare food for ourselves which is healthy, tasty and ecologically viable. We need to season that food sparingly, with quality salt that is made using natural processes."
Predominantly a cookbook - expect a spectrum of recipes, including some untraditional, yet excitingly essential. A few of these basics caught my eye, as you so rarely seem them in mainstream cookbooks - Brined Feta, Butter, even Soy Sauce! If you are like me, you find the idea of making these practical essentials extremely rewarding. Expect also more traditional dishes such as: Salt Block Salmon, Olive and Rosemary Focaccia, or Broccoli Soup.

Sorry everyone, it's been a few weeks since our last Tuesday Takeaway! Everyone needs a brief hiatus every once in a while, right?
This week's giveaway is Peruvian Pink Salt! This salt comes from an ancient ocean, trapped underground, which feeds a spring located 10,000 feet high in the Andes Mountains in Maras, Peru. The warm spring water seeps into terraced ponds located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
This pale-pink beauty is a great all-purpose salt with a sturdy crunch - perfect for use with a mortar and pestle and ground until the desired texture is reached.

Himalayan Pink Salt is a pure, strikingly beautiful dark pink salt. The dark pink salt, unlike the ubiquitous lighter Himalayan Pink Salt varieties, can only be found in a few mines in Pakistan. This natural salt looks as beautiful on food as it does on your table in a bowl, a salt shaker, or salt mill.
Danish Viking-Smoked Salt is made in a style devised by the Vikings, thanks to the efforts of one man in Denmark, who took it upon himself to rekindle this millennium-old tradition.
Choose from varying textures of Bali Sea Salt - fine grain or pyramids. Both offer a delightful crunch and satisfying sea salt taste.
