Salt Like a Chef

Think of this class as learning the culinary scales. Salt is the master seasoning, and once you know how to use it, everything you cook gets easier and more delicious. Through guided tastings and hands-on cooking, you'll learn how to season with intention, how to taste like a pro, and how to fix common "Why is this bland?" and "Oops, too salty" moments without panic. You'll leave with a practical framework you can use on any recipe, plus the confidence to stop following seasoning instructions like they're legal contracts.

What to expect:

Salt tastings: Compare different salts and salty ingredients and learn what they actually do.

Side-by-side samples: Taste simple dishes seasoned with kosher salt, tamari, and not enough salt, so you feel the difference instantly.

Hands-on flavor play: Practice bringing a simple dish into balance in real time, with guidance and tasting cues you can repeat at home.

We’ll serve a light, vegetarian meal (seasonal salad, cheeses, and more) to accompany your tastings and play!
