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, kitchen-tested recipes.
Subscribe here, but prepare to be disappointed because I am taking a break from my newsletter.
