How to:

Make your own celery salt

Celery salt adds delicious flavour to any meal, plus by using celery you cut down on the amount of salt, so it's healthier. 

To make, use Maldon sea salt. Take a cup of chopped celery and dry it at 60°C in the oven. Wait until it's completely dried out, then put it in a coffee or spice grinder together with a quarter cup of Maldon salt.

Grind together for a salty, celery flavoured seasoning with a jade green colour.
