What goes into creating, testing recipes and then writing, editing and even getting published?
James Beard award winner Carolyn Jung and recipe developer extraordinaire Rosemary Mark are set to converse for our benefit. They will share their experiences of creating and testing, writing and editing recipes as well as getting published.
