Test Kitchen

Welcome to the page for our soon-to-be-world-famous Serendipity Farmhouse Test Kitchen. To most of you, it stands to reason that something that is soon-to-be-world-famous is not already world-famous. You might assume that the soon-to-be-world-famous Serendipity Farmhouse Test Kitchen is somehow deficient. – To the contrary, you will find that there is more here than meets the eye.

The grand purpose of the SFH-TK is to test a recipe under the same conditions and with the same challenges that confront any amateur home chef, an amateur chef with only the meager resources of a farmhouse kitchen. The only difference being, the SFH-TK staff is scientific and methodical, recording each step of the recipe process and analyzing the results. The end goal is to have a fail-proof, go-to recipe that can be listed on your weekly menu with the highest confidence.

Come see the culinary magic we perform in the SFH-TK!
