Developed in collaboration with Chef Marc Murphy, Chef’s Best Friend is built on a simple idea: having the right balance of salt and pepper within arm’s reach makes cooking easier and better. This is Marc’s original Season With Authority blend and one he keeps at the ready by his stove at all times.
Salina crystal salt provides clean, mineral salinity, while Zanzibar black peppercorns bring bright, fruity heat and depth. The ratio is dialed in so you can season confidently as you cook, without stopping to reach for two separate jars or second-guessing your balance.
Use Chef’s Best Friend anywhere you’d normally use salt and pepper. Season proteins before cooking, finish vegetables, soups or eggs, or keep it on the table for everyday meals.
