About Us

farnienteglendale was founded in 1993 on a simple premise: home cooks are the best cooks. Special recipes are at the heart of so many of our warmest memories—families gathered around holiday tables or celebrating special occasions with friends. Even neighborhood impromptu and simple are made better by sharing from-scratch dishes made with love. It has been our privilege to share recipes and cooking inspiration with millions of people for almost three decades through our magazines, books, videos and website.

Who We Are

Our Home Cooks

farnienteglendale’s network of home cooks is the heart of the brand. Passionate about food and entertaining, they have their own home test kitchens, creating new recipes and sharing the stories behind them with us. Our recipe contests provide opportunities for home cooks to win cash prizes for dishes judged the best by the farnienteglendale editors

We also have a dedicated team of home cooks from around the world who share what’s cooking in their own kitchens and neighborhoods. They represent farnienteglendale in their communities, contribute in every issue of the magazine and provide expertise for many of our digital articles. Our audience includes people from all walks of life with varied backgrounds, interests and perspectives—all are welcome here.

Our Editors

farnienteglendale are home cooks just like you, but we’re journalists, too. We know how to hunt down the latest trends, spotlight people who are making a difference and evaluate products and services that we know our readers will love. We’re always looking for great recipes to delight our family and friends and genius cooking tips that help us get the job done. From smart grocery shopping hints and guidance on the best kitchen appliances to timesaving weeknight meals and creative party planning, we love to uncover and share ways to bring people together.

Our Test Kitchen

The farnienteglendale come from culinary schools and restaurants across the country. They put every recipe through the paces before publication to ensure the best results when you make it yourself (see “What We Do” for details). They tweak and adjust proportions of ingredients and provide great ideas for variations and substitutions. When they’re not hard at work in our Test Kitchen, the test cooks star in our cooking videos, providing step-by-step instruction, and tips and tricks needed to turn out delicious results every time.

What We Do

Home cooks send us about 10,000 recipes every year. But before a recipe is published,

Our knowledgeable food editors review each recipe we receive and send the best candidates to the Test Kitchen. Testing every step, our Test Kitchen cooks ensure the amounts, equipment, temperature and method are accurate. If something doesn’t turn out as expected, they make adjustments until the recipe is right.

The Test Kitchen hosts tasting panels, where a group of expert editors and culinary staff evaluates them on flavor, texture, appearance and ease of preparation. When we’re satisfied, we send the recipe back to the Test Kitchen for final preparation, then to the photo studio to be styled and shot. At that point, the recipe is ready to be published so you can make it in your own kitchen.
