Allrecipes Test Kitchen

Allrecipes Kitchen Approved recipes are tested by culinary professionals at the Dotdash Meredith Food Studios to ensure our home cook heroes always discover the best recipes possible.

The Allrecipes Test Kitchen staff are a team of culinary pros who create and vet recipes using only equipment you'd find in a home kitchen. Staff credentials vary but include training at the Culinary Institute of America; kitchen stints in fine dining restaurants; and countless hours in the test kitchen itself.

Our Kitchen Approved recipes go through a rigorous testing and cross-testing process, which includes testing recipes by trained recipe testers, using a variety of tools, equipment, and techniques to ensure that each recipe works when you make it at home. Our recipe testers and culinary specialists also shop major supermarkets and online retailers to research availability of ingredients. Each tested recipe is tasted by a panel of staff who offer feedback for any improvements that can be made.
