Not All Recipes Are Created Equal: An Interview with Test Kitchen Expert Jane Freiman

We’re delighted to be speaking with Jane Freiman, founder of Smart Kitchen Insights Group, a virtual test kitchen that helps companies get closer to their targets. Jane is an innovator with more than 30 years of test kitchen experience.  On this episode, we compare notes on recipe development and testing from the perspective of the home cook. We explore what it's like for consumers to cook today as if standing in their shoes and survey a variety of cooking styles and culinary tools used as well as the influence of ingredients, family structure and skills on how meals get created. We also discuss the role that CPG food and beverage brands and retailers can play today in terms of partnering to influence where home kitchen culture is headed next.  Craving more insights?
