About

Skillet & Spoon is a recipe site with one editorial rule: tell you the part other sites leave out. Why the rice went to mush, why the shredded chicken dried out, which step actually matters and which one is habit. Recipes here are written under the byline Frank Thomson.

What we publish

Three sections under one roof: weeknight Mexican cooking, diabetic-friendly recipes, and bariatric-friendly recipes. Recipes are developed and standardised from research into how each dish is traditionally made, and every nutrition number is calculated from the USDA FoodData Central database rather than estimated. The USDA food IDs behind each figure are kept on record, so any number on this site can be traced back to its source entry. How we work is documented in our editorial policy.

What we are not

We write about cooking, not medicine. No one here holds medical or dietetic credentials and we do not claim any. Nothing on this site is medical advice. The health-focused sections describe cooking approaches, and the decisions belong with you and your care team. See the medical disclaimer.
