About Salt. Butter. Smoke.

My name's Ben Racey, I've been cooking professionally for over 12 years & I'm a chef turned food blogger. saltbuttersmoke.com is my food blog where I share easy to follow recipes for all types of home cooking.

What started as a food blog sharing recipes, techniques and seasonal inspiration has grown into a celebration of ingredients at their very best. Whether it's the first British strawberries of summer, perfectly ripe tomatoes, or the arrival of autumn apples, there's something special about cooking with produce when it's in season.

That idea led to the creation of In Season, a monthly food publication exploring the ingredients that are at their peak each month. Every issue features carefully tested recipes, kitchen notes, seasonal eating guides and original photography, all tested and created in-house.

Available as both a collectible physical edition and an expanded digital edition, In Season is designed to be something you can cook from, keep and return to throughout the seasons.

Alongside In Season, you'll also find a growing collection of digital publications, recipe guides and seasonal resources created to inspire confident, seasonal cooking at home.

Thank you for supporting independent food publishing.
