Welcome to Striped Spatula! I’m Amanda Biddle, the home cook, recipe developer, and photographer behind the blog. If you want to create gourmet meals and craft cocktails with fresh ingredients, you’ve landed in the perfect spot!
Growing up, my mother and grandmother always invited me to help them in the kitchen. Whether we were making Chicken Milanese, baking buttery madeleines, or simmering our cherished “Sunday Sauce”, the food, and the time we spent making it, was an expression of love.
I’m thrilled to share my passion for cooking and entertaining with you. I believe that everyone, regardless of experience, can confidently create restaurant-quality meals at home, impressing their family and friends with every bite.

About The Recipes
Since its launch in 2013, Striped Spatula has become a trusted resource for home cooks looking to elevate and expand their menus with reliable recipes. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting out, I break down my recipes into easy-to-follow steps so that they’re achievable for everyone.
I’m lucky to live in an area with an abundance of local producers, so most of my recipes are seasonally-inspired. Many posts feature fresh ingredients I’ve found at farmer’s markets and produce I’ve harvested from my own garden. I also love to share regional specialties from my travels (such as Maine Lobster Rolls and Southern Tomato Sandwiches).
Many times, I’ll put new twists on some of my favorite classic recipes (try my Basil Egg Salad or Maple-Sriracha Devils on Horseback). You’ll also sometimes find a splash of bourbon in my dishes where you might not expect it.
I’ve rigorously tested every recipe on Striped Spatula. I never post anything that I haven’t made myself (usually multiple times). If I don’t love a recipe, it doesn’t make it onto the blog, and I continue to refine it until it’s ready to share.
Striped Spatula also features cooking technique tutorials, guides, and product reviews/recommendations to help you maximize your time in the kitchen.
