In 2018, High Desert Kitchen founder, Chef Scott Hamilton, began a journey on the Keto diet. He discovered he couldn’t find spice blends made without sugar and other unnecessary ingredients and quickly began to get tired of the lack of creativity and diversity in Keto recipes. So, he set out to make his own spice blends and Keto cook book. That journey has taken many twists and turns, with many successful recipes developed (and some that were not!). Through that journey he discovered the wonders of monk fruit, being able to add sweetness without adding carbs or affecting one’s glycemic index. He also fell in love with Redmond Real Salt, a phenomenal salt company mining locally in Utah. The flavor is unique, the color is beautiful, and the minerals that are retained in it add an additional health benefit. Scott realized he could make a seasoning blend that wasn’t too salty, letting you add salt to your liking as you are cooking, as all cooks should do. This is when he realized he wasn’t just making a low carb, healthy seasoning blend, he was making a seasoning blend that was going to enhance the flavor of food and keep the saltiness in check. These blends are designed for everyone from home cooks to professional chefs! We at High Desert Kitchen are here to inspire everyone from top to bottom to make more delicious food, try new things, and experience the world through their taste buds!
