The purpose of this blog is to demonstrate how a base recipe, in this case Chicken with Cannellini Beans, can create a new recipe with a few ingredient changes. First, we create a recipe, then we taste the recipe, then we change up the ingredients to develop a new recipe from the original recipe. This is the innovative part of the process. That is why our approach to cooking is: create, taste, innovate.
