The gift box in detail

Five condiments for the cook who treats smoke not as a gimmick but as a dimension. Danish beechwood-smoked salt in a warm potato vinaigrette, in a dry rub for pork, in a butter spread on dark rye. Oak-smoked Maldon, the flake version, on a homemade cured salmon or a herb omelette — the crunch and the smoke both. Smoked paprika de la Vera, the real oak-smoked DOP, in a chorizo-style rub and in a smoky bean stew. Tellicherry black, cracked, on a pork chop smoked over applewood. Traditional tamari, denser than soy sauce, signs the marinade for charcoal-smoked eggplant or seared portobello caps. A recipe booklet covers four home-smoking techniques (wood chips, black tea, cold-smoking in a tin, infused smoke). The catch: smoked salt won't put smoke *into* slow-cooked meat — heat burns off the aromatic compounds in about a minute. These are finishing salts. Hit the pulled pork at the very end, off the heat, and you actually taste the smoke instead of paying for one that evaporates before the bark sets.

“Five smoked or smoke-friendly condiments, with four home-smoking techniques.”
