London: Veteran actress Meryl Streep uses salt to keep her fingers smelling nice.

The Oscar-winning actress gained a great insight into kitchen life while shooting her latest movie `Julie and Julia` in which she plays world-famous chef Julia Child and was given lots of helpful advice, including how to keep your digits fragrant, reports contactmusic.com. "I got a lot of good cooking tips. You need a good pan and always cook on a high heat. I also learned that if you have garlic and onions on your fingers, if you dip them in salt and then rinse them in cool water, the smell goes right away," said the 60-year-old star. Bureau Report
