“All my life, my relationship with salt has been intense. As a child, I would pour salt into the palm of my hand and lick it until my tongue was painfully sore. I loved salt so much I would add it to everything. I knew that salt enhances flavor. As we say in my native Jamaica, “Just a dash or pinch of salt makes anything better.”
