My friends and I recently discovered Panzanella this summer (thanks to Ina Garten) and made it several times. With summer leaving this was to be one of our most-missed dishes. Thank you for sharing so we can now enjoy it through the winter months. :) However, I am not a huge fan of Brussels Sprouts...I enjoy cabbage to an extent, but Brussels are just too bitter for my taste. I would like to try it with chopped cabbage as an alternative, but know it tends to wilt when heated. Have you made it since? It looks like the last post was a few years ago... This looks fantastic!

Also, if you are curious or interested in using sea salt for it's myriad health and culinary benefits, but find that you are turned off by (unnecessarily) exhorbitant pricing, I would suggest that you look around a bit for an affordable supplier. They are out there!! As for Chiarello....while he may come off as a bit pretentious at times, his work is solid, and the information he provides between the hype is accurate and entertaining. I have made several of his dishes, both in the home and professionally, and they have all been extremely well recieved. Of course, I may be a bit one-sided in this, as I have always had someone else to do the dishes :) Cheers, Chris For a wealth of information regarding Gray Salt, as well as other naturally harvested sea salts, please check out http://www.saltworks.us

Thank you for entertaining us! Today I spent almost an hour in Penzey's Spices (www.penzeys.com) and thought of you! Speaking of which, they have Gray Sea Salt 4oz for $3. I hope you guys all have a good spice store nearby, as I am thoroughly in love! Secondly, this is for all of the brussel sprout and broccoli cookers out there...I bought my Grandma a Yankee Candle called "christmas cookies" one year, and it completely covers up the scent of things that smell weird when cooking! Even when she makes broccoli for dinner, her house always smells like she just baked a cake or cookies! They also carry a "vanilla cookie" scent which I think would do just as well.

Though have you ever seen episodes with her husband? Never without a drink - quite hysterical. this looks fantastic! i’m going to have to try making it soon. as for gray salt – someone gave it to me as a foodie gift, and i’ve sprinkled it over food like hard boiled eggs, or tomatoes. but cooking with it, is a waste, you’ll never taste the difference! or i suppose neither you nor i can – maybe michael chiarello is a supertaster, who knows. and i TOTALLY agree with you on Ina Garten – love her.
