Ever wondered why your recipes call for a pinch of salt in your cookies or pastry? Here’s why… Adding salt to our food is not just about saltiness. Salt has the ability to bring out wonders in our food by suppressing bitterness, hence enhancing the sweet and savory notes.
Adding salt to sweet desserts gives a blend and contrast of sweet and savory, which is irresistible for most of us – such as the salted caramel, salted chocolate (works for both white and dark chocolate) or adding a pinch of salt to the ice cream.
