Hardcover. NY, Simon Element, 1st, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover in pictorial boards, 256 pages, color plates. Salt Hank's love for food began when he first tasted salami on Christmas Day at six years old, and it changed the trajectory of his life. Hank, also known as Henry Laporte, now makes big-personality videos about the most flavor-packed food imaginable for millions of Die-Hard fans. His TikTok and Instagram videos may not have a lot of talking (except to capture Hank's gasps of joy when he tastes the final dish), but they do have many mouthwatering close-ups of dripping sauce, juicy meats, crispy bread, and whatever else is sure to stir the heart of viewers and leave them craving more. Salt Hank is his first cookbook that includes an entire chapter of fried food; main courses like Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos or Duck Breast with Potato Chips and Pan Sauce; a chapter dedicated to sauces and dips because Salt Hank wouldn't be Salt Hank without decadent sauces; plenty of recipes for pickles; and of course, sandwiches...a lot of sandwiches.
