What is recipe development and who does it?

That's a great question! Let me break it down.

Recipe developers create new and innovative recipes that meet the needs of their target audience. They will likely dive deep into research, explore various cooking techniques, collaborate with other professionals in the industry, all in the effort to provide you with original recipes.

If you need some original recipes for your business, blog, magazine, or culinary product, look no further. Here's how I can help: With your input, I'll generate original ideas, help select high-quality ingredients, conduct rigorous testing, and finally deliver the finalized recipe.

Things that would be helpful for me to know beforehand include: Who's the target audience? Home cooks or professional chefs? Is there a specific type of cuisine? Does this recipe serve a particular purpose, such as feeding a crowd, being fast and easy, containing no more than five ingredients, or showcasing your unique product? Does it need to accommodate any dietary restrictions, such as being gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, or paleo?

Once I have this information, I'll head to my test kitchen and get to work.

What does it cost? You're looking at $350 to $400 per recipe, plus the cost of groceries needed to develop and test the recipes. Recipes that are fast and easy will cost less than a recipe for yeasted cinnamon rolls, for example.

What do you get? You'll receive the original recipe along with a stylish iPhone photo of the tested recipe.
