In the JSI Kitchen, we are creating Asian Fusion recipes for a new culinary Workshop to Go coming in 2019! Before culinary workshops are offered to Massachusetts schools, recipe testing is conducted in the food lab at FSU. We check to be sure the recipe is accurate, practical, affordable, meets the nutritional requirements and, of course, tastes great!
Purchasing ingredients, prepping, cooking, and tasting new recipes is essential. The qualities and characteristics of each recipe are evaluated for appearance, taste, aroma, texture and overall acceptability. In doing this, recipe changes can be made to spices, herbs, or ingredients in the recipes, which lead to overall recipe improvement and ultimately student-approved recipes.
Feedback on the recipes is an essential part of the process. The JSI team scores and comments on the appearance, taste, aroma, texture, and acceptability of all the recipes. The favorites in this round of recipe testing included the colorful and tasty vegetable stir fry, crispy tofu, stir fry confetti rice, and the Asian beef strips.
Please visit the John Stalker Institute website to request a culinary workshop. Stay tuned for more information about our new Back to Basics: Asian Fusion Workshop to Go coming in 2019!
