Welcome to Salt Free
There comes a moment when life changes.
Maybe your doctor tells you it’s time to reduce sodium. Maybe you’re cooking for someone you love. Or maybe you’ve simply decided it’s time to eat differently.
Whatever brought you here, welcome!
For over 30 years, our family has believed that reducing salt doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor. That simple idea became the foundation of everything we do today.
What began in our own kitchen eventually led to a cookbook and a collection of recipes created to help others enjoy flavorful, low-sodium cooking.
The truth is, changing to a low-sodium lifestyle isn’t always easy. Some of the foods you’ve always enjoyed may no longer fit into your life. But that doesn’t mean every meal has to become bland, boring, or disappointing.
That’s where Salt Free comes in.
We’re here to show you that herbs, fresh ingredients, citrus, spices, and thoughtful cooking techniques can create meals that are every bit as satisfying as the ones you remember.
Salt Free isn’t about perfection.
It’s about finding new favorites, discovering fresh flavors, and realizing that eating with less sodium can still be something you genuinely look forward to.
Whether you’re just beginning your journey or you’ve been cooking low-sodium for years, we hope you’ll find recipes, inspiration, and encouragement here.
You’re not starting over.
You’re simply discovering a new way to cook—one that’s full of flavor, creativity, and possibilities.
Welcome to Salt Free.
Let’s cook together.
Why Salt Free Exists
Salt Free began with one simple goal: helping people reduce their sodium intake without giving up the foods they love.
Over time, that goal grew into a philosophy of cooking—one that celebrates fresh ingredients, herbs, citrus, spices, and techniques that bring out natural flavor instead of relying on added salt.
We believe low-sodium cooking isn’t about restriction. It’s about creating meals that are satisfying, practical, and full of flavor—meals everyone around the table can enjoy.
Who We Are
SaltFree.com began in 1997 to help people reduce their sodium intake. That work eventually led to the original No-Salt Cookbook, published in 2001 and written by David C. Anderson and Thomas D. Anderson.
Over time, the site, the recipes, and the approach evolved. Like many things, there were pauses along the way—but the core idea never changed.
Today, Salt Free is evolving once again—building on that same foundation while expanding into new recipes, new e-books, and new resources designed for how people cook today.
Whether you’re reducing sodium for health reasons or simply looking to cook with more flavor, the goal remains the same: helping you create meals that are fresh, satisfying, and meant to be enjoyed every day.
