We often talk about how the Test Kitchen is Bon Appétit's home base. All of our recipes, from Salted–Butter Apple Galette to Red Wine–Braised Short Ribs, start here. Our Test Kitchen editors spend their days developing and testing (and testing and testing) recipes until they're confident the end result is not only delicious, but will also deliver the same results in your home kitchen.
Getting our recipes to work perfectly in your kitchen largely comes down to writing smart and clear recipe instructions. But sometimes, you just have to see a recipe in action to know what it means when we say, "Fold whipped cream into mixture just to blend." Which is why our friends at Nest outfitted the Test Kitchen with our very own Nest Cam. We used the Cam to catch some of the "key step" moments for five of our favorite recipes.
