Discover bold, extraordinary recipes crafted specifically for food lovers from Henry Laporte, affectionately known as Salt Hank, one of social media’s most celebrated culinary personalities.

Henry Laporte, better known to millions of fans online as @Salt_Hank, first fell in love with food when he tasted salami at the age of six on Christmas Day—a moment that forever inspired his passion. Now, he captivates followers with energetic, crave-inducing social media videos, letting his delicious creations speak for themselves through vivid close-ups of crispy breads, mouthwatering sauces, juicy meats, and tempting bites—occasionally punctuated by Hank’s joyful gasps as he tastes each finished creation.

Delight in an entire chapter dedicated just to fried foods; irresistible main courses such as Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos and Duck Breast served with Potato Chips and Pan Sauce; a whole section filled with his signature decadent sauces and dips (because Salt Hank wouldn’t be complete without dipping sauces!); a generous variety of pickles; and of course, sandwiches galore—including fan-favorite hits that went viral, like his Lamb Burger, the famous Steak Frites Sandwich, Vodka Parmesan, and his delectable Pesto Chicken Sandwich. Alongside these popular dishes, Hank also shares brand-new, exclusive recipes that you won’t find anywhere else.

Aside from vibrant, flavor-packed dishes and Hank’s playful (sometimes irreverent) personality, readers will be captivated by the stunning photography guaranteed to whet any appetite. Plus, Hank generously shares insider tips to help readers elevate their own food photography and video skills at home.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or simply someone who appreciates truly delicious food, Salt Hank is sure to earn a cherished spot in your cookbook collection.
