Brooke, founder of Landsea Gomasio, found an abundance of bull kelp and nettles on Orcas Island, where she lived, at the same time she met a neighbor who taught her classic Japanese cooking.  It was in these friendly cooking moments that Brooke learned about Gomasio.

We asked Brooke how she came up with her own personal blend and she told us, 


“I realized this classic blend would be the perfect starting point from which to incorporate some of the nutritional wealth of the land and the sea. I replaced the salt with the more complex salinity of Bull Kelp and the bright note of Nettle. The result is Landsea Gomasio; a blend that supports the body with both the wisdom of tradition, and the nutritionally rich flavors of my home.”

You have a knack for writing and should consider writing books, and or team up with David Leibovitz (old pastry chef at Chez Panisse…who now lives in Paris)….he has a wonderful news letter also.  I always take my time reading both of your newsletter ( yours and his)  as there is so much care put into them.
