About One More Spoon
Real food for the road to parenthood
One More Spoon is a recipe collection for one specific journey: the months before conception, the nine months of pregnancy, and the first year after birth. Four hundred and thirty-two recipes, each one built around the nutrients that matter most at that exact stage, and each one written for two people, because this journey is rarely walked alone.
Why we built it
Nutrition advice for this season of life is scattered, contradictory and often terrifying. One site says avoid everything; another says nothing matters. We wanted one calm place where the food is delicious first, evidence-informed second, and never preachy. You will not find miracle foods or fear-mongering here - just meals that quietly cover folate, choline, iron, DHA, calcium and the rest.
How the recipes are built
- Nutrient-first design. Every recipe is tagged with the nutrients it genuinely delivers, and every phase highlights the nutrients that matter most in that window.
- Food-safety by default. Pregnancy recipes follow standard public health guidance: fully cooked eggs, meat and fish, pasteurized dairy, low-mercury fish choices, and clear notes where habits should change between phases.
- Both partners count. Preconception recipes are designed for egg and sperm quality alike - fertility is a team sport.
- Real-life friendly. Postpartum recipes are batch-friendly, freezer-ready and often one-handed. We have held a sleeping baby while eating; it shows.
- Every diet welcome. Vegan through omnivore, with allergy filters for the nine most common triggers.
Who is behind it
One More Spoon is an independent project. Recipes and guidance are compiled from publicly available guidance by national health bodies and peer-reviewed nutrition research, then translated into food people actually want to cook. [Add your founder or team bio here.]
