When salting food, always do it up high, away from the food so that the salt spreads evenly. Salting too close will get some spots of the food more salty than others.

I like to cook and enjoy learning about cooking. This blog is to log things I've learned.

Today I learned that gratin means crust.

That Sabayon, which is a french word for custardy sauce with wine, comes from an italian word which means beer.
