• Instead of table salt, a lot of cooks use kosher salt in their cooking (it tastes better).  Most recipes don't make the distinction clear, and since kosher salt is more coarse, a teaspoon of table salt is saltier-tasting than a teaspoon of kosher salt, so you may need to add more or less depending on which you're using.  We keep our kosher salt in a small bowl, rather than getting the box out every time we have to use it.
• Sea salts have lots of complex flavors and are often healthier than other salts.
