What if we said there's a science to the perfect mashed potato? It starts with the type of potato you choose. @gitsini shares how we ran the experiment, plus a cheat sheet at the end so you know exactly what to shop for.

*Part 2/2 with @testkitchen* Learning about fat-washed liquors and cocktail making techniques with @gitsini. I will most certainly be making both brown butter washed bourbon and olive oil washed vodka very soon!

Brown butter washed bourbon Manhattan, half gone in an instant

I’m always mesmerized by the beauty of craft cocktails

A massive pipe burst at the Test Kitchen facilities just meant a little pivot to the hotel conference room. First up, learning about the world of product testing with @lisam_atk.

The ultimate peeler: @kuhnrikonusa

Food styling, photography and art direction with @caseystenger and @tobinfood. They approached the art direction for this new cookbook with the mantra of treating each cookie like a portrait: “What’s this cookie wearing? What they presenting as? What are the jewels?”

Food science course with @testcook and @lan_cooks. Did you know that:

1. rigid foods that make a higher pitched sound when we bite them register as crispy while those that sound lower pitched to our ear register as crunchy? Think Lays vs Cape Cod potato chips

2. chocolate consumed while listening to melodic music tastes sweeter while chocolate consumed while listening to heavier or more atonal tastes more bitter

3. the numbing, tingling sensation you feel on your tongue when you eat Sichuan peppercorns vibrates at exactly 50 hertz

Can’t wait to be back 🤍

I grew up watching America’s Test Kitchen, so getting invited to tour the Test Kitchen and see how everything comes together behind the scenes was truly a childhood dream come true.

One of my favorite parts was learning more about how much research goes into a single recipe. The process can start by digging through their incredible cookbook collection and comparing existing versions of a dish, looking at what works, what doesn’t, and what they want their own version to accomplish.

From there, the real testing begins. Ingredients, ratios, temperatures, techniques and timing are tested and retested until they understand not only what works, but why it works. A single recipe can go through dozens of tests before it ever makes its way to your kitchen.

As someone who grew up watching the show and now spends so much of my own time thinking about the science behind baking, visiting felt completely full circle.

Thank you @testkitchen for having me and letting me peek behind the curtain at a place that inspired me long before Half Batch Baking existed. ❤️

I got a private BTS tour of America’s Test Kitchen @testkitchen in Boston and it was so amazing!

Two days. Six classes. Incredible instructors!!
I have been watching this show for years and actually being inside that space, meeting the people behind it, and learning from them in person was one of those experiences I will never forget.

And yes. I am making that shortbread cookie next. Stay tuned.

Thank you so much @testkitchen

A little peek behind the curtain at @testkitchen

What an incredible experience getting to see firsthand just how much testing, creativity, collaboration, and attention to detail goes into everything ATK does. It was so fascinating to see how such a well-oiled machine comes together behind the scenes.

Thank you, America’s Test Kitchen, for welcoming me and giving me a peek behind the veil. Definitely an experience this food nerd won’t forget! 🥹🍴❤️
