Amanda Biddle is a food writer, recipe developer, and photographer who loves dogs, music, and a good meal shared with friends.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Amanda headed southward for college at the University of Richmond in Virginia (Go Spiders!). She graduated with a B.A. in Political Science, Philosophy, and an appreciation for grits and proper biscuit-making.
Currently, she’s returned to the Tri-State area, and can often be found in New Jersey, New York City, and Philadelphia.
Amanda’s passion for cooking and entertaining was instilled in her by her mother and grandmother at a young age. She has privately studied the art of cooking for more than 20 years.
Amanda founded Striped Spatula in 2013, when her friends suggested she start a blog to chronicle her recipes. The years since have been the most unexpected and delicious adventure of her life.
When she isn’t cooking or dining out, Amanda enjoys playing classical piano (fun fact: she shares a birthday with Beethoven), spending time with her totally-spoiled-and-loving-it dog, Toby, and exploring farmer’s markets. She also enjoys watching classic films, reading cookbooks like novels, and gardening (she grew over 80 pounds of tomatoes in 2022!).
Amanda believes that laughter is the best medicine and that there are few bad days that a warm baguette and a wedge of Triple-crème can’t improve. She is passionate about discovering and supporting local, artisanal producers both at home and in her travels.
