Summer 2022 Herbal Salts- The Fruit Series

July 28, 2022

Summer 2022 Herbal Salts- The Fruit Series

July 27th 2022

SOLD OUT! Sorry

Even though these are sold out, this will give you a good idea of what is to come.

Something deep inside me lights up in the presence of fresh herbs. I am enraptured by them, as well as those who grow and use them. I hope I can inspire you to use more of them.

Fresh herbs have been a symbol of my own artistry and creative spirit since I started growing them in my garden in Eugene, Oregon, in my early 20’s. Not only are they a staple in my cooking, but they have sprung up in every aspect of my life ever since.

My Herbal Roots is the creative manifestation of everything herbal I have experienced along the way, and a projection of all to come. It’s a place for me to share my herbal passion indiscriminately, allowing me to document the herbal moments that light my path, providing a home to pause in celebration and appreciation.

I have been conscious of my own innate passionate streak from an early age. Like many others, I remember coloring outside the lines as a child. What set me apart was the self-confidence I had that couldn’t be swayed by anyone telling me it was wrong. My inner strength carried me forward from the get-go, fearlessly driving me to where and who I am today.

The Summer 2022 – The Fruit Series is a manifestation of my life in Missouri. I hope you enjoy.

It’s hard to enjoy anything while the entire world goes to shit but my lightly fermented herb and fruit sparkling waters and the pool on a 90 degree day makes me feel like I’ve woke the lottery of life. 

Remember to not take life for granted yours or someone else’s.

If you have never tried the deliciousness of a zucchini and herb omelette, it’s now moving into that season-zucchini season!

Just grate some zucchini, sauté it in a pan - I added mint, parsley and slivers of green chili. Add beaten egg over it (like an omelette) the zucchini I and the egg become one and then you can stuff it, roll it, flip it etc. I  stuffed mine with smoked cheddar and wild arugula!

Turkish OttomanMint “Kofta” Salt

My favorite city in the world is Istanbul—electric, pulsing with the history and vibrations of countless cultural uprisings: Anatolians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, Ottomans. This salt—despite its opulence—reminds us that uprisers must eat. And no one does herbs and spice more luxuriously than the Turkish people. For them, it was never about wealth. Herbs and spices meant survival, flavor, healing. Foraged in famine, layered in stews, passed through mothers hands. A cuisine of power built from the ground up. This herbaceous salt is a modern take on all flavors past: spicy, potent, sharp, grassy, green. Bright sumac—the poor man’s spice— overflows. Parsley, mint, cilantro, oregano—forward and grounded—speckled with citrusy woods: lemon thyme, bay, tangy sorrel. Ottoman spices swirl like smoke, evoking the Grand
Bazaar that feeds everyone. Based on centuries-old blends, modernized for the herbal kitchen— this is total opulence for the commoner. It suits the sultans, but it belongs to the people. Much like Istanbul’s Nicole, my favorite restaurant in the world. This is your kebab salt. Your lamb, black lentil, tomato salad, smoked octopus salt. This is how anything becomes Ottoman. While yesterday was long ago, it was always about tomorrow.

Those citrus blossoms from @mediumfarm ; I’ve been air drying them and now I’m going to grind them up into a heavenly fairy dust powder. Part I’m going to mix with epson salt for my bath and the other part use around the kitchen in my general magic. 

I love when my ideas work - the smell is intact and potent!!

True story: I once bought an old oud at a flea market in Jerusalem and brought it back to the U.S. for a then-lover. It smelled like the perfume of the Middle East. I loved how intoxicating that smell was. He loved it—and me—for the sultry gesture.

That story—and so many others—are reflected in this season’s herbal salts: My Arab Spring, The Awakening Collection.

This collection is rooted in my Middle Eastern origin story—beginning in Israel when I was 29 - then stretching into my 50’s into Jordan, Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt, and Cyprus. It’s built from those travels, many of them deeply intertwined with herb work and herb people—who handed me the generosity of their wisdom, the herbaceous and life-kind—especially their fire. My boldness has been peppered by my time in the Middle East 

The wisdom and strength of the Middle Eastern people—their resilience—is like spring itself. This collection celebrates that power, that need to rise up, to revolt, to speak out. Like spring, they burst forth from the dirt—because awakening has only one direction: up…… forward. 

These salts are deeply personal—fiery, fresh, and rooted in history, religion, politics, economics, trade annd commerce and above all openness of perspective and protectiveness of my own creativity and vision 

This is My Arab Spring—the flavor of resilience and revolt. Taste it now.

Limited as always. 

See story for more details. 

This is my first work sans my helper Inca. He is deeply missed and yet visibly present in this collection. Don’t worry I didn’t put his ashes in.  Lol.

#Jasmine if you’re lucky enough like most Northern Californians, to have this thriving in your yard or on a hiking path- USE IT!

I love using it in sweet and savory forms. I usually air dry the flowers and the flower beds (those have extra potent flavor) by laying flat in a large bowl where these is good air circulation. It takes about a week. I sometimes finish them in the oven 200 degrees on a cookie sheet for about 10 min. 

One of my favorite things is make is jasmine sugar - I love adding cardamom and mahlab to mine. I use this for baking, cocktails, mint tea and so on. Using this one for a rhubarb and blueberry coffee cake.

The lavender rhubarb jam (that’s in one of the salts) turned into a little gin thing. Chamomile for a sweet nose tickle.
