Learn the craft and science of recipe writing at Milk Street’s Recipe Development Bootcamp led by Kitchen Director Wes Martin and Director of Education Rosemary Gill. Limited to just 10 participants, this intense hands-on course is a full immersion into the Milk Street process for developing and writing recipes.In this Bootcamp, we put you through the same process our chefs experience—condensed into one packed weekend. After a relaxing Welcome Dinner on Thursday, you can expect to work hard both in the kitchen and the library on Friday and Saturday. Your assignment will be to design a recipe from scratch; you’ll find out what kind of recipe once we’re together. You will research, plan, organize, cook, go through the same evaluation process we use in our own development kitchen, revise, cook again and draft a proper recipe. Along the way, you’ll taste other student’s work and meet privately with Wes or Rosie for guidance and feedback. We’ll also have one tasting session with Milk Street’s team of recipe developers. Between cooking sessions, you’ll start learning the tricky craft of recipe writing. You’ll practice writing headnotes, accurate ingredient lists and clear, concise instructions.This Bootcamp is for cooks who are serious about improving their intuitive cooking skills, recipe development chops and writing style and clarity. We’ll also have a ton of fun in a special way you can only experience when surrounded by similarly enthusiastic cooks. Many people are great cooks, but few are skilled at turning that cooking into effective instructions for others—family, friends or future cookbook readers. We can make you one of the few.
