“To the casual observer it may have looked like I was living a life of indolence, compared to the noisy industry with which the city to the north was ripping itself to pieces. It was true that, after a brief but regrettable entanglement with Higher Learning, I had fairly much confined my activities to the house and its environs.

“Baking with a salt crust!
Salt is mixed with egg whites and then spread over the top of the dish to form a thick crust.

Because of the insulating wall of salt, the dish is heated gently and evenly while in the oven...
... its juiciness and deliciousness slowly growing within its protective shell.
The dish is considered complete...
... when you crack open the now golden-brown salt crust.”
