The Story Behind The New England Palate

About The New England Palate
The New England Palate is a Maine-based food blog that celebrates the diverse and ever-evolving culinary landscape of the Pine Tree State.

Written by a mom and daughter duo, the blog is a culmination of cooking at home and exploring the many places across Maine where good food is made and shared. From tucked-away taco trucks to neighborhood bakeries, Somali kitchens to seafood joints, we highlight the flavors that reflect Maine’s growing cultural richness.

We don’t do interviews or traditional reviews — just honest reflections on where we’ve been, what we’ve eaten, and what it made us feel. Whether it’s a comforting home-cooked dish or an unforgettable meal on the road, our writing is grounded in experience and a genuine curiosity about what’s cooking across Maine.

No pretension. No ratings. Just Maine food, in all its forms.
