Recipes have never been more popular. From magazines and cookbooks to food-related company websites and personal blogs, it’s widely known that recipes offer delectable, highly sought-after content. Recipes that resonate with consumers, patients, and clients have the ability to engage, inspire, and educate. As such, they are powerful tools not only for promoting healthy lifestyles but also for nourishing and enriching a personal or professional brand, blog, or business.
 

Unfortunately, as recipe writers rarely receive professional training, recipe content is frequently, and often unknowingly, peppered with blunders. As scientifically trained food and nutritional professionals, RDs are in a unique position to take the lead when it comes to well-written recipes that meet corporate and consumer needs. This highly engaging nuts-and-bolts session will reveal the top 10 errors commonly found in written recipes and how to spot or avoid them. It will also provide a menu of eight invaluable recipe writing tools that will help you write, edit, and polish your recipes for any medium. Whether you are a recipe-writing novice, seasoned writer, acquirer or distributor of recipe content, or simply a home cook, Marlene’s wide-ranging expertise and discerning eye are guaranteed to have you chewing over recipes like you never have before.
