Salted: A Manifesto on the World’s Most Essential Mineral with Recipes is Mark Bitterman’s (no pun, honest) guide to the use of artisanal salt and the power that it can have in different recipes. There are over 80 types of salt shown off in its pages and more than 50 recipes for you to make at home.

So, enjoy Apple Cider Vinegar For Health And Beauty for what it is but don’t take …
