Welcome! I’m Kathryn Pauline, recipe developer and photographer here at Cardamom and Tea, where I hope you’ll find something delicious to make.
I love to share recipes inspired by seasonal produce, community, and the Middle Eastern food I grew up with. While I’m not a vegetarian blogger, my cooking tends to be plant-forward, flexible, and flavorful.
I like to take a problem-solving, resourceful approach to cooking, with lots of room for improvisation, substitutions, and making a recipe your own.
My two cookbooks, Piecemeal and A Dish for All Seasons, are available wherever cookbooks are sold!
Browse my recipe archives, where you’ll find hundreds of delicious and reliable recipes.
Subscribe here, but prepare to be disappointed because I am taking a break from my newsletter.
