How much salt is a big pinch? About one teaspoon. Check it once with a measuring spoon, and after that your hand knows the amount. Then season from up high so it lands evenly instead of in one salty spot. A kitchen tip from Kitchen on Fire in Berkeley.

Cooking up something good at the BAAQMD Health Fair in San Francisco today with Chef Eden and Chef Olive! We're serving 100 guests two plant-forward dips: a cilantro lime edamame dip and a nut-free tahini muhammara, with fresh veggies and gluten-free crackers. Thanks to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District team for having us. Want a wellness event like this for your workplace? Kitchen on Fire does in-person and virtual corporate programs.
Dice an onion like a chef. Horizontal cuts first, with the root left on to hold the layers together. Then cut straight down, then slice across, and you get an even dice every time. We teach this in every hands-on class at Kitchen on Fire in Berkeley.

We’re from the sea. So is good salt.
Kosher salt is mostly pure sodium chloride — useful in the kitchen, but stripped down. At Kitchen on Fire we cook with Redmond Real Salt: unrefined mineral salt from an ancient seabed in Utah. Beyond sodium, it still holds the trace minerals that get refined out of ordinary salt — in a balance closer to what life came from.
Trace amounts, yes. But every day you cook, that choice adds up. Better salt. Fuller flavor. A little more complete.
Tip: salt early — and use a salt that’s still whole.

Takeout prices add up. Vegetables on a hot grill don't.
Tip: salt early, high heat, don't crowd the skewers. Char is flavor, not a mistake.
