Lawrence J. Clark, aka the "Mountain Man Gourmet," began his love affair with food in early childhood, starting life as an Air Force Brat before eventually settling in New Mexico's Manzano Mountains in the late 1990s.

Lawrence is a veteran of the food and hospitality industry, having worked in fourteen restaurants and resort hotels in several states from Maine to Mississippi to Florida while developing his career as a writer, educator, and musician. He has spent a lifetime living in or traveling to over 40 states and 25 countries, where he's tasted a wide variety of cuisines and learned some fascinating new cooking techniques that he loves to pass along through his cookbooks and internet cooking classes.

Nowadays Lawrence has developed a complete line of seasonings, spice blends, and easy-to-prepare and delicious gourmet food items, bursting with Southwest and New Mexico flavors such as Red and Green Chile, Habanero, Jalapeno, Ancho, and Guajillo, as well as Italian, French, Cajun, and Asian flavors, including unusual and tasty items such as Thai Green Curry with New Mexico Green Chile. These flavors can be found in his unique spice blends, dry rubs, soup and dip and rice and pasta mixes, and more, including such unique items as Red and Green Chile Cheeseburger Mix, Red Chile-Chocolate Muffin Mix, and Mountain Man Meatball Mixes – your choice of traditional Italian, Red Chile, and Green Chile. And besides tasting great, all Mountain Man Gourmet products are hand-packed in small batches, and are all natural, preservative free, and much lower in sodium content than typical store-bought spices or food items.

Imagine serving your family a hot bowl of Hatch Green Chile soup (ready in under 30 minutes!) or a cup of Mountain Man Gourmet New Mexico Hot Chocolate on a chilly winter evening at home or sitting around a campfire.
