In this hands-on, skill-based class, you’ll learn firsthand how a popular food magazine’s test kitchen runs, and what a food editor does. Diana Andrews, the test kitchen manager and food editor at "Fine Cooking" Magazine, tells all! You’ll work with original chef or cookbook author recipes and learn how they make their way through the test kitchen and into the magazine/website. You’ll get the insider’s scoop on how to pitch your recipes to a food magazine and its editors. What is the spirit of the recipe? How should the recipe be scaled? Are there obvious substitutions for obscure ingredients that chefs love (sea beans, anyone?) Plus, you’ll eat your tested creations and have an intimate conversation with Diana, who will help demystify the world of recipe writing, testing, editing, and how the test kitchen works. Diana Andrews is a food editor and the test kitchen manager at "Fine Cooking" Magazine. She develops original recipes for the magazine and many of its advertisers, recruits potential new contributors for upcoming features and departments, and tests and adapts all recipes from the WGBH television show "Moveable Feast with Fine Cooking." She is a graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education.
