Salt in Bacon & the Art of Living By Eben van Tonder 21 June 2021
Introduction
In Bacon & the Art of Living, I dedicate three chapters to salt. It remains one of my favourite study subjects. The truth is that I only scratched the surface. It is a subject that I will return to often and I am planning to expand on Chapter 10.12, The Salt of the Land and the Sea. Here I present the three chapters for those who are interested in a more thematic study.
Chapters on Salt
- Chapter 10.11: The Salt of the Earth
- Chapter 10.12: The Salt of the Land and the Sea
- Chapter 10.13: The Salt of Meat
