When you whip up a dish inspired by one of our recipes or explore a hot trend in the food world through our articles, you’re not just engaging with a blog—you’re connecting with The Weekly Spoon team. But who are the people stirring the pot behind the scenes?

At The Weekly Spoon, we believe a food blog isn’t just a collection of recipes and articles; it’s the collective heart and creativity of a passionate team. Whether you’re an everyday foodie, seasoned home cook, or aspiring food blogger, knowing the faces and stories behind the site can deepen your connection to the content you enjoy.

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain and introducing you to the minds, hands, and hearts behind The Weekly Spoon.

Meet the Founders

The Culinary Dream Team

At the core of The Weekly Spoon are its founders, Lily Harper and James Matthews, two food enthusiasts with diverse culinary backgrounds. 

Lily, a trained chef with over a decade of experience in professional kitchens, found herself longing for a platform to share tips and recipes she picked up through the years. Inspired by traveling and learning global cuisines, she emphasizes making gourmet recipes approachable for everyone. 

James, on the other hand, started as a tech-savvy home cook. His ability to break down complex recipes into simple, practical steps made him a favorite among his friends long before The Weekly Spoon was a concept. Together, Lily’s culinary expertise and James’s audience-first approach created the perfect recipe for launching a food blog. 

A Shared Vision

Their vision for The Weekly Spoon? To craft a food blog that blends inspiration and accessibility. It’s about more than just recipes; it’s about sparking a love for cooking, encouraging creativity in the kitchen, and creating a community for food lovers everywhere.

The Content Creators

Unique Voices, One Delicious Blog

Behind the beautifully worded articles and curated recipes are a group of content creators who bring their individual talents to the table. Each voice contributes something unique, making The Weekly Spoon a one-of-a-kind experience.

• Sophie Kim (Recipe Queen): Sophie’s specialty lies in testing and developing recipes. Her meticulous attention to detail ensures that every recipe is clear, failsafe, and, most importantly, delicious. Favorite dish to develop? Anything involving chocolate or pasta! 
• Evan Rodriguez (Trend Watcher Extraordinaire): Evan is always ahead of the curve when it comes to food trends. Whether it’s the latest sourdough craze or a viral TikTok recipe, Evan knows what’s next and how to bring it to your kitchen seamlessly. 
• Mila Patel (Kitchen Science Guru): Known for her knack for breaking down the “why” behind cooking techniques, Mila tackles the science of cooking. Why does resting dough matter? How does salt enhance sweet flavors? Mila has the answers.

The Creative Process

How does all this magic come together? The Weekly Spoon team brainstorms weekly themes based on trending topics, seasons, and suggestions from readers. Recipes, photos, and articles are meticulously vetted and refined to ensure they meet the standards the team (and its audience) has come to expect.

Behind the Scenes

A top-quality food blog isn’t just about great recipes. The magic also happens behind the scenes. From the smooth layout of the website to those Instagram-worthy photos, the Weekly Spoon team extends far beyond the writers.

The Tech Wizards

• Alex Bennett (Web Specialist) keeps the blog running seamlessly with his expertise in coding, SEO optimization, and troubleshooting. He admits to sneaking bites of Sophie’s baked goods during meetings.
• Lauren Tanaka (Graphic Designer) is the visual storyteller of the team. Every photo of sizzling pans or perfectly plated dishes goes through her artistic eye.

The Tools & Secrets

Weeks of hard work get streamlined thanks to a carefully curated toolkit:

• Editorial Calendar for planning themes and launches.
• Photo Editing Suites to make dishes look as delicious online as they taste in person.
• Engagement Analytics to track what readers love most.

Building a Community of Food Lovers

One of The Weekly Spoon’s proudest achievements isn’t just the recipes—it’s the community that has grown around them. Here’s how the team stays connected with its readers:

Interactive Features

• Regular polls to decide what recipes to publish next. 
• User-submitted recipe tweaks and reviews that often turn into full-fledged blog posts. 

Real-World Impact

One notable community-driven project was the “Comfort Food Series,” born out of recipe suggestions submitted by readers. The team selected crowd favorites, from classic lasagna to hearty stews, creating an entire series tailored to what the audience wanted.
