About Me
Hi. Welcome to Taming of the Spoon. I’m Nguyet (pronounced “Wick”) and I love food. When I am not actually eating or cooking, I am thinking about the next thing I might be eating or cooking or photographing. I live in Houston, Texas with my husband and our two teenaged daughters. Sharing delicious food with family and friends brings me great joy.
About the Blog
I started this blog to embark on a new adventure after working in Information Technology for several years. I have always loved to cook and the technical side of creating a blog intrigued me so I decided to combine the two and Taming of the Spoon was born.
I want to share recipes that my family has enjoyed and that work for us. With two active kids, I am always looking for recipes that are quick and easy to make while still being delicious and healthy. My goal for this site is not to create all original recipes but to share recipes I have found that fit into our lives and lifestyle so that you too can share great food with your family and friends. I find cooking inspiration from many sources (blogs, cookbooks, magazines, restaurants, my mother’s cooking) and I cite sources when a recipe is not my own (or my mother’s).
I believe balance is key in living a full and happy life. I enjoy a hearty grain bowl just as much as a decadent slice of cake. So, you’ll find a good mix of both healthy and indulgent recipes here.
