Who Me?
Hi! I’m Kari, the personality behind and creator of A Little Spoon. I’m a recipe developer, food photographer, and blog writer living in North Florida (USA). Like many a food blogger, I grew up cooking with my family, adored it, and just never stopped.
In a past life, I worked in political communications managing client media campaigns, organizing research projects, and combing through data for quantitative and qualitative analysis. It seems like a total 180, but I’ve brought a lot of what I did there into this business, and it has served me well in building this dream.
Fundamentally, this blog is the combination of several elements I desperately wanted to exist together on the internet:
- Flavorful recipes with intentional ingredient choices;
- Copious notes on ingredient interaction and recipe techniques; and
- A place where like-minded foodies could create a community.
I truly feel like I have created my own little oasis on the internet between this blog and my Patreon; a place where knowledge is freely exchanged and engagement over a shared passion for all things food is thriving and growing.
I hope you’ll join in. Come see what doors can be unlocked in your culinary journey when you have access to both expertise and a positive, supportive community.
“Food is meant to be shared!”
On a more personal note, I have two amazing children and a wonderful husband who supports my dreams. He also cleans up even my worst kitchen messes, and boy have there been some doozies! I enjoy hiking and rock climbing. And, like any normal person, I plan all our travel around food.
“Science and art overlap tremendously in cooking. Once you understand the building blocks, you can be both flexible and creative in the kitchen!”
I truly believe my love of flavor, research, spreadsheets, science, and mess have helped me blur the lines between the art and science of cooking. Food is meant to be shared. I hope you take whatever you learn during your time here into many future culinary adventures.
Welcome to my blog friends! 🙂
