Until I started blogging, I was unaware of how many items in my kitchen are tied so closely to my family. I can thank my Grandpa McKinstry for my name, and also for introducing me to one of my favorite seasonings. This salt is crazy with a k! A mysterious blend of medium sized salt flakes, pepper, and a bounty of other secret ingredients, it is wonderful for cooking. It can also add quite a bit of life to some hard boiled eggs. I myself am not much of a salter, which is why using a salt blend is actually beneficial....more flavor, less salt per teaspoon then plain sea salt!
My grandpa McKinstry was born in Belize about eighty-five years ago. Although he moved to England at the age of twelve for boarding school, I think living in Belize certainly influenced his taste for food. I can thank him for teaching me how to fry plantains until they are sweet and caramelized, as well as the joy of an afternoon cup of red rose tea.
