About

Hi there! My name is Mimi Newman. I grew up in LA, lived in Seattle for 9 years, and now live in Brooklyn. By day, I do marketing & PR, and by nights and weekends, I am a self-taught home cook.

The Herb and Spoon is a cooking and baking blog focusing on fearless and elegant home recipes. I love to develop bright, fragrant recipes that are as delicious as they are reliable. I’m inspired by unexpected uses of spices and herbs, seasonal vegetables, “international” pantry ingredients like chili oil and matcha, and overly-ambitious baking projects.

I like food that's kinda healthy and kinda indulgent. Hope you do too!
