Hi, I’m Katrina!

I’m Katrina Poole, a Le Cordon Bleu-certified recipe developer and professional food photographer behind A Spiced Life. Here you’ll find approachable, (mostly) from-scratch recipes that you can make with ease, along with an arsenal of cooking and baking techniques that you’ll use forever.
After years of developing & photographing recipes for other food bloggers, I decided it was time to create a food blog of my own. I hope these recipes inspire you to get into the kitchen and try something new!
