flavor makers who are obsessed with their craft. Then bring their best to
your table — as a
tasting set, a gift worth giving, or a live experience that changes how you think about salt (and other ingredients) forever.
Salt is the most used ingredient in your kitchen. It's also the most ignored.
I've spent 15 years as a Good Food Awards judge, tasting thousands of ingredients side by side — and I can tell you: not all salt is the same. The difference between a flat finish and a clean, mineral brightness can be subtle. But, it changes everything on the plate.
A Dash Of exists because you deserve to taste that difference.
Every ingredient here is sourced by hand. Every set is built around a flavor story. Every cellar, spoon or accessory is either made in my studio or found with the same obsession I bring to the food itself.
At this tasting, we're going deep on umami — what it is, where it lives, and how salt unlocks it. We'll taste our way through a curated lineup of artisan salts alongside late-summer tomatoes, exploring how mineral content, texture, and terroir can change what lands on your palate.
We host educational tastings that’ll ruin basic ingredients forever. For private groups in the San Francisco area looking for a new experince in taste.
