After 3 and a half years, The Healthy Mama Kitchen/Healthy Balanced Mama podcast has hit 300 episodes! Today we're celebrating with a special topical Q + A based on listener questions all about recipe creation. Tune in to listen to Kris answer questions on: 

  • How does an idea start? Do you build from a flavor idea? Certain ingredient or protein choice? What is your inspiration– do you experiment first or do you usually have a plan? 
  • How long does your process from inspiration to completion take? 
  • How do you know an attempt isn’t quite right, and what are your common tweaks? 
  • When you feel like your dish is ‘missing’ something, how do you decide what that is? 
  • How do you know when a recipe is done testing?
  • What are your favorite recipes or cuisines to create, and least favorite?
  • What is a mistake you made early on that you have now perfected? 
  • Favorite resources on developing your palate?
