The Lemon Rosemary I use on Lamb shanks but would be good on any cut of lamb. The other I use on beef. Wonderful on nice dry aged steaks. Sometimes I make a Lemon, pink pepper corn salt that I use on seared scallops. Two common salts that I use at work are Lemon Rosemary, and pink and dried porcini mushroom Salt.

This salt definitely tasted of roses and I don't think was just rose-colored salt. Has anyone heard of this or know where I could find it in the States? It was delicious!

I have around 2 dozen black summer truffles and over half a dozen fine salts. I would like to make truffle salts for my friends. There are practically no references that I can find. One obscure reference I did find says some time back said the truffles must be dried, which makes sense, but on the other hand, I am told the truffles lose their aroma when dried. Should the truffles be powdered or finely grated? The truffles are so expensive that I don’t feel like experimenting too much. Does anyone know precise directions for making truffle salt?
