About Spice and Spoon
Welcome to Spice and Spoon – where flavors meet creativity, and every recipe tells a story.
I’m thrilled you’re here! I’m Tanuja Pradeep Kumar, the face behind Spice and Spoon. While my professional roots are deeply planted in the world of advanced mathematics, my heart has always been in the kitchen. Numbers have given me logic, structure, and precision – but cooking brings me joy, creativity, and connection. It’s this beautiful blend of structure and soul that inspired me to launch this blog.
The Journey from Chalkboard to Chopping Board
For years, I’ve been an advanced math teacher, passionate about equations, problem-solving, and making complex concepts click. But in between lectures and lesson plans, I found myself experimenting with spices, testing recipes, and plating dishes like a true artist. What started as a stress-buster quickly became a burning passion. Cooking became my creative escape – a way to unwind, express, and connect.
Why Spice and Spoon?
Spice and Spoon is not just about recipes; it’s about the experiences, the stories, and the inspirations that simmer behind every dish. Here, I share flavorful, approachable recipes, kitchen tips, and a dash of life’s flavor – served with the precision of a teacher and the passion of a home chef.
Whether you’re a beginner looking for simple meals or a seasoned cook craving something fresh, this is your space to explore, learn, and taste the magic of home cooking.
More Than Just a Food Blog
My journey doesn’t stop at food. I’m also a:
Website Developer – I built this site from scratch to reflect my vision and creativity.
Content Creator – I love crafting engaging, relatable content that inspires and educates.
Interior Designer – A well-designed kitchen or dining space is just as important as the food served in it.
These skills help shape Spice and Spoon into more than a recipe hub. It’s a holistic lifestyle experience where food, design, and storytelling come together.
