About this session
A practical food class on making satisfying food with less reliance on salt, using flavor techniques people can reuse rather than simply leaving salt out.
A Workbliss food expert brings the ingredients and guides participants as they taste, prepare and assemble a lower-salt dish. There is no cooking at the workplace or online.
Participants learn to notice what a dish is missing, such as aroma, acidity, depth or texture, before reaching for salt.
