Basic Pastry Making-Salt

Salt is an essential building block of the human body. It's a mineral that we need to replace on a daily basis. It's the not-so-secret "electrolyte" ingredient in Gator Ade, and to paraphrase their ad campaign: "Is Salt in You?"

I do understand that there are health concerns associated with ingesting too much salt. I am of the opinion that many of the issues associated with salt could be alleviated if not eliminated altogether just by drinking enough water, but that is not the point of this lens.

Since we must ingest some salt every day, and since many folks say, "Life is Short. Eat Dessert First," I say, "Don't Forget to Use Salt in Your Desserts."

Not only do we need salt, but salt also makes everything taste better. If you are adding salt judiciously to everything you cook, your food will not taste salty, it will just taste good.
