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!”
