About

Salty Seattle is written by Linda Miller Nicholson. She currently resides in Seattle, Washington with her husband Jonas, who designs and photographs most of the blog, and toddler Bentley Danger, after having lived for several years in Torino, Italy. Naturally, memories and frequent returns to Italy heavily influence her culinary style. The website is a mélange of recipes, musings and reviews of all things pertinent to the gastronomic lifestyle of the Pacific Northwest .
Linda is a recovering Stiletto Ninja- she hung up the nunchucks in favor of her current role as resident Foodie Fashionista (but she gets to keep the Louboutins). She likes to make cheese (especially burrata), cure bacon, distill salt from the nearby ocean, and churn all manner of gelato from scratch, at home, with wine, in stilettos. She’s obsessed with cooking things sous vide, loves eggs- especially duck and quail- and hand rolls and cuts various types of pasta from gnocchi to tajarin to agnolotti at least thrice a week.
Linda teaches cooking classes (complete with vino and fun) in a variety of subjects including but not limited to burrata and pasta-making. Contact her via email if you’d like to put something together. Your comments, inquiries and feedback are welcome and appreciated.

Your blog is one of the best I have seen. You are truly an inspiration. I live in Seattle, so this excites me to read. I would love to take some lessons from you on day! Big fan of yours, huge. Cheers!
Your blog has entirely blown my mind.
@JPN
Definitely brine it! You will not regret this decision.
Enjoy!
Hi Linda!
Just thought I would say hello :) I just read about you on Seattlest. Congrats on Master Chef – Seattlest is backing you for the win! It looks like all else is well.
Great picture btw.
To brine the turkey or just to salt it?
I’ve gotta say, your site is absolutely gorgeous. I found you via FoodBuzz, but I’ll be a loyal follower outside of that interface too. Your hand-harvested salt post was especially interesting – I’m always looking for something sort of crazy to do too, and that is *just* the sort of thing.
Great work, Linda!
Would love to know products you have found and love. Sometimes great cooks come across ” must have” and helpful tools. Especially salt related.
