What we’re about
Have you ever looked at a recipe and thought, I’d like to try that. Well, that’s what the test kitchen is all about. Everyone brings a dish they’ve never made before. Simple.
This is not an opportunity to show off that highly polished dish you’ve been perfecting for years. This is an opportunity to try something new, experiment, take a culinary risk.
The very nature of a test kitchen means there’s going to be occasional failures. That’s OK. As Julia Child said, “always bring it to the table!”

👻 Test Kitchen Challenge: Spooky Food!
October’s Test Kitchen challenge—should you choose to accept it—is spooky food. Think creepy, crawly, ghoulish, or just playfully weird. Need inspiration? How about “Mummy Dogs” (pigs in a blanket wrapped like bandages), deviled eggs with olive “spider” toppings, bloody beet risotto, pumpkin guts pasta, or graveyard tiramisu with cookie tombstones. Check out the spooky dishes from last year and a few more!Be sure to post your dish at least 2 weeks before the Test Kitchen. Go to the event’s Comments area and let the other cooks know what you plan to bring.
