Developing a Recipe for Research

Portland Design Thinkers are thrilled to welcome Kate Tetreault of America's Test Kitchen to talk with us about Developing a Recipe for Research:

Research and testing are built into our DNA at America's Test Kitchen. Our test cooks research, develop, and analyze recipes in our state-of-the-art kitchen, then pass them along to our panel of 70,000 home cooks to pressure test in real kitchens. In the lab next door, our Reviews Team conducts comprehensive (and unbiased) research and testing to determine which ingredients and equipment are worth home cooks’ time, effort, and money.

As a Product Design team, we wanted our user testing and research platforms to match these rigorous standards. In this session, I’ll share our scrappy journey to ‘Food for Thought’ – our co-design panel of home cooks.

About our Speaker:
Kate Tetreault leads the Product Design Team at America’s Test Kitchen. She lives in the Boston area with her partner and two cats, voraciously consuming TV mysteries and gluten-free snacks in her spare time.
