My name is Nicole, welcome to my kitchen.
I have come to realize that creating a meal in my own kitchen is not only healthier and more economical than eating out, it’s also a lot more fun! Through this site I hope to share my enthusiasm for cooking and perhaps convince a few people that with fresh ingredients, a little imagination, and some good music playing in the background, anyone can cook great meals and enjoy it too!
I started this blog over ten years ago while living in Italy. I had the wonderful opportunity to spend four years living on the island of Sicily – an experience that was just as amazing as it sounds. I have always loved to cook but the sights, sounds, and tastes of Sicily inspired me in ways I never could have imagined. Pinch My Salt is the result of those experiences.
I am originally from central California, but I have lived in Oregon, Florida, and southern California. All of these places have influenced the way I think about food. I am currently cooking for friends and family near Fresno, California, where I continue to be inspired by the variety and abundance of fresh produce available here.
