My Recipe Room is a celebration of craftsmanship, provenance, and the belief that exceptional flavour begins with real ingredients.

Founded by a hospitality professional whose journey began in 2006, the brand is rooted in a deep understanding of food, service, and detail. While formal training in Hospitality Management shaped the foundation, it was the art of creating—rather than simply serving—that became the driving passion.

The concept for My Recipe Room took shape in the heart of the South African winelands, while working at a wine and family estate that included a health-focused juice bar. Each day, fresh fruit was juiced, leaving behind vibrant citrus peels—full of aroma, colour, and untapped potential. Instead of discarding them, these orange skins were carefully collected, dried, and milled into a fine powder.

What began as a moment of curiosity soon became a defining moment. While preparing a simple chicken dish, the dried orange powder was combined with salt—chosen intentionally to avoid artificial seasonings, preservatives, fillers, and flavour enhancers.
The result was subtle, aromatic, and transformative.

That single experiment sparked a vision: naturally infused salts—rich in flavour, beautiful in colour, and pure in composition.

Early creations used Himalayan salt, but extensive experimentation revealed that it altered the visual integrity of the blends. This led to the discovery of South African desert salt—unrefined, mineral-rich, and perfectly suited to showcasing natural ingredients without compromise.

From inception, My Recipe Room has remained uncompromising in its standards. Every blend is crafted using raw, real ingredients only—whole spices, dried herbs, and naturally preserved fruits. No artificial flavourings. No preservatives. No fillers.

Today, we work with a leading South African producer specialising in blast-frozen fruits used across premium restaurants and health industries locally and internationally. This allows us to preserve colour, aroma, and flavour at their peak—naturally and responsibly.

Each gourmet salt is designed to elevate food while remaining honest and authentic. The range reflects a philosophy of mindful eating: celebrating real ingredients, unrefined salt, and the simple luxury of cooking well.

At My Recipe Room, flavour is not engineered—it is crafted.
We invite you to taste the difference of real salt, real ingredients, and intentional design.
