Not wishing to start on too dramatic a note but Salt can sometimes cause health issues.

Extending this to our campaign for healthy and fresh ingredients, our view at Spice Road Spices and the Epicurean is that it would seem rather pointless to rattle on about the acknowledged health benefits of Farmers Markets and Grass Fed Beef, then stuff it all up with an overload of salt.

Clearly I am not saying that best quality salt does not have a place in favourite recipes. Of course it does. But rather, an overload of salt has no place in great food. Simply, salt should not be used to elevate inadequate flavours.

Taking this further, there are many folk who, for medical reasons, are unable to add salt to recipes (or should have reduced salt) and it is to these people, along with everyone who loves food that we will be presenting interesting and unique recipes that have a special Umami. With or without salt.

Therefore, we are proud to announce that we are partnering with the Meniere's Support Group (see below) to present an ongoing selection of salt free and salt reduced recipes (along with some occasional comment) that will allow you to enjoy great food and equally, will allow you the option to add salt to your taste, if you wish.
