Content Creator's Photo

Hello & Welcome!

Hello! I’m Kari, the recipe developer, blogger, and food photographer behind A Little Spoon.

Fundamentally, this blog is the combination of several elements I desperately wanted to exist together on the internet:

1) Flavorful recipes with intentional ingredient choices; 2) copious notes on ingredient interaction and recipe techniques; 3) and a place where like-minded foodies could create a community.

Food is meant to be shared. I hope you take whatever you learn during your time here into other culinary adventures.
