TASMAN SEA SALT
WITH PEPPERBERRY
While nothing could ever
take the place of classic salt
and pepper, these vibrant
plum-coloured flakes make
a compelling stand-in.
Tasmanian pepperberry
has a distinct intensity that’s
equal parts fruity, woody
and spicy – a fitting
native accent for a steak
or to cure ocean trout.
$9.95 for 80gm.
WORDS MATTHEW HIRSCH. PHOTOGRAPHY ROB SHAW. STYLING AIMEE JONES. tasmanseasalt.com

These ve seasonings come in handy when your

palate calls for a little something extra.
