Welcome to Salty Tart!
At Salty Tart, we believe every great recipe begins with a little spark, a pinch of boldness, a dash of mischief, and a whole lot of flavor.
Born from the idea that food should be anything but boring, Salty Tart serves up single recipes that are anything but ordinary.
Whether you’re hunting for your next go-to dish, craving something daringly different, or just in the mood to play with your food, you’ve landed in the right kitchen.
From salty cravings to sweet escapes (and all the savory moments in between), our recipes are crafted to break the rules, in the most delicious way.
Behind the Flavor: The Spark That Started Salty Tart
It wasn’t a grand plan, it was a craving. Late one night, armed with nothing but a half-empty fridge and wild ambition, we threw together a salty little tart that didn’t follow any rules. It wasn’t perfect, but it was unforgettable.
That one reckless bake turned into something bigger: a love for recipes that surprise you, satisfy you, and sometimes even make you laugh. We realized food didn’t have to be fancy or fussy to be brilliant, it just had to be bold.
Salty Tart was built for flavor chasers, kitchen rebels, and anyone who believes a good bite can turn a good day into a great one. Every recipe here is made to spark a little magic in your kitchen, one fearless dish at a time.
Because the best meals aren’t just eaten, they’re felt.
Meet Our Team
At saltytart.com, we’re not just recipe makers, we’re flavor explorers, seasonal cooks, and passionate storytellers who believe that good food should always come with a little adventure. Meet the people behind every bold bite:
Mike Reynolds – Founder & Recipe Developer
Mike’s love for cooking started right in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where farm-fresh ingredients sparked his passion for creating simple, seasonal meals.
After earning his Associate Degree in Culinary Arts from Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, Mike spent years perfecting the art of farm-to-table and sustainable cooking.
His approach to food is built on one idea: cooking for yourself should be joyful, easy, and full of flavor. When he’s not developing recipes, you’ll find him hiking mountain trails, wandering local farmers’ markets, and searching for new inspiration in nature.
Jess Martinez – Contributing Recipe Writer & Nutrition Consultant
Jess grew up surrounded by the bold, rich flavors of Southwestern cooking, and that early love for food shaped her journey into culinary arts and nutrition.
After earning her Certificate in Culinary Arts from Santa Fe Community College, Jess made it her mission to create dishes that honor tradition while promoting health.
She brings a fresh, culturally rich twist to every recipe she touches, making healthful eating exciting and accessible. Outside the kitchen, Jess loves exploring local food markets, gardening native herbs, and diving deep into the traditions that make every dish meaningful.

Why You Can Count on Salty Tart
At Salty Tart, we believe every recipe you try should feel like a sure thing: exciting, satisfying, and totally worth the mess in your kitchen.
That’s why we’re serious about flavor, picky about quality, and obsessed with making every single dish you find here clear, craveable, and tested to perfection.

Here’s what sets us apart:
Built by Real Cooks, Made for Real Life
Every recipe you see comes straight from real kitchens, not spotless studios. We slice, spill, and taste our way through each dish so you get steps that actually work, no confusing directions, no weird mystery ingredients, just real food made simple.
Tested (and Tasted) Until It’s Just Right
We don’t stop at “pretty good.” Every recipe gets tested multiple times, in real kitchens, with real hungry people, until it earns a full table of empty plates and happy faces. If a dish doesn’t wow us, it doesn’t make it to you.
Straightforward, No-Nonsense Recipes
You won’t find complicated jargon or fifteen-step marathons here. Our recipes are written clearly, broken down into easy steps, and designed to help you cook with confidence, whether it’s your first tart or your fiftieth.
Honest Tools and Tips
When we recommend a kitchen tool, a shortcut, or a technique, it’s because we’ve used it ourselves, and we know it can make your cooking faster, easier, or tastier. No sponsored fluff, no sugarcoating, just honest advice from one home cook to another.
Flavor-First, Always
At the heart of every recipe is one simple rule: flavor wins. Every dish you’ll find at Salty Tart is built to spark joy on your plate: big flavors, smart twists, and bold bites that make you smile with the very first forkful.
Rooted in Passion, Shared with You
We love food that feels a little daring, a little different, and a lot delicious. That’s why we do what we do: to give you recipes that you can trust, savor, and come back to again and again.
