"artisanal salts" news and stories

I typically have at least four or five different types of salt in my kitchen. There's a container of kosher salt next to the stove as well as some big grained sea salt. I also have lavender salt, smoked salt and some pink Hawaiian salt. I seem to be something of a salt lightweight when you compare my collection to this Artisanal Salt Sampler. It come with 24 varieties of salt and can be ordered over at Red Envelope.

This would make a terrific gift for the salt-crazed foodie in your life. Although if they are someone who often cooks for you, be prepared for taste tests and side-by-side comparisons.
