How do you come up with recipes?
I’ve been cooking a long time and the evolution of recipe development has changed and will continue to do so. I’m inspired by ingredients, leftovers, and my clients. Some clients send me recipes or ideas they’d like to try. I’ll generally research the recipe, think about what they like, and modify it several times with several different clients to come up with “a perfect recipe for most”. I’m also a big fan of challenges so work with what a client has or what’s in my refrigerator/pantry without going grocery shopping.
Where do the nutritionals come from?
I use a program called Nutrifox. It doesn’t always have the ingredient but I pick the closest and err on the side of a higher fat or sodium content if in doubt. If a recipe says servings of 4-5, then I will use 5 as the serving size. Keep in mind that high fat content nutritionals might include skin and/or oil that is generally thrown away. If something says “garnish” or “optional” it is not generally included in the nutritional information.
