Worthington is the author of 19 cookbooks and recently launched a weekly syndicated "Seriously Simple" food column.

Here is her recipe for seasoning salt that is worthy of a homemade gift...

Worthington says: Purchase small glass containers topped with shakers. Mix together the seasoning salt and transfer to the containers. Store any remaining salt in an airtight container. Before screwing on the shaker tops, cover containers with plastic wrap. This will allow the salt to last for several months, refrigerated..."

Preparation

Step 1

In a running food processor fitted with a metal blade, drop in the garlic cloves and process until finely minced. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a large measuring cup. Add to the garlic and pulse until completely blended. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender container and pulse again. Transfer to an airtight container or to smaller containers with shakers on the top.

Keep refrigerated.
