About these Recipes

By Yewande Komolafe

Testing a recipe is about ensuring that the path to the end result is as precise as possible, changing only factors that might affect its consistency when prepared in a home kitchen. Recipe testing is about ratios, weights, and measures. It’s also about converting the unruly nature of ingredients, heat, intensity, and patience (or a lack thereof) into something that produces an identical outcome—regardless of the size of your oven, the shape of your pan, the humidity hanging in the kitchen, or the chill of the wind seeping in through the window over the sink.
