We are all aware that salt can greatly enhance the flavor and bring out the essence of savory dishes. Few people, however, realize that salt can also augment the taste of sweet and baked goods as well. Adding just a pinch from one of your salt mills will get the salivary glands working and increase the food’s flavor.
