Our Story

Celebrating East London's vibrant food culture since 2020

Our Mission

Lightly Salted was born from a simple belief: the best food stories are found in unexpected places. We're dedicated to uncovering East London's hidden culinary gems and sharing them with food lovers everywhere.

From family-run restaurants tucked away in Hackney to innovative chefs reimagining British classics in Shoreditch, we celebrate the diversity and creativity that makes our food scene so special.

Every recipe we share, every restaurant we feature, and every chef we interview represents our commitment to authentic, accessible food culture.
