Back Story on Recipe Development

I was in Publix   last night and picked up these recipes cards. Lakeland Georgia is the home of Publix's corporate headquarters, Lakeland's central location offers easy access on all sides to world-famous chefs and out-of-this-world cuisine. Which makes it a perfect location for an Aprons Cooking School to showcase great food.

Recipe development is serious business at Publix. We began in 1999 by touring many of the most renowned recipe development kitchens in America to establish our own world-class kitchens. Then we got down to work.

Each recipe created by our kitchen begins as an idea from one of our food experts. With that idea in mind, our Recipe Development Manager shops his neighborhood Publix, just like any customer, picking up readily available ingredients from our shelves. Then, back at the test kitchen, our team creates several different recipes to transform the idea into reality.

A panel of Publix associates taste-tests all of the recipes. They must earn high ratings; otherwise they go back to the drawing board for tweaking. Once a recipe is approved, it has just begun the journey to our in-store recipe rack and website. We do a consumer test to ensure the recipe steps are achievable by the average cook, not just food professionals. We also create the cooking sequence, ensure the accuracy of nutritional information, edit and proofread, and then finally release the recipe for publication.

It's a long process, but it's what allows us to provide you with consistently great recipes.
