From the Target test kitchen: Five recipes to try first
Behind every recipe is Target’s test kitchen: a team of food scientists, culinary experts and trend researchers who develop recipes and products across Target’s food and beverage owned brands.
“The magic of the Target test kitchen is that we combine food science and culinary expertise with an understanding of how busy families shop and cook,” said Diane Douglas, director of trend for food and beverage, Target. “Our team has decades of experience developing recipes and products, so every dish in this cookbook was created with approachable ingredients and tested with everyday kitchens in mind — using familiar appliances and tools to make sure the recipes are easy and delicious.”
To help guests get started, Target’s test kitchen team selected five standout recipes that showcase the range of the cookbook:
- “Steak and Potato Kabobs with Blue Cheese Yogurt Sauce”: A grill-friendly recipe that pairs Good & Gather Petite Sirloin with baby potatoes and a creamy, steakhouse-style dipping sauce, using shortcuts like frozen Good & Gather Crushed Garlic Cubes to build big flavor with less prep.
- “Mango and Coconut Overnight Oats”: A five-minute, make-ahead breakfast that brings a little tropical brightness to busy mornings, with pantry staples and easy swaps for favorite fruits, nuts, granola or other crunchy toppings.
- “Chicken and Vegetable Soup with Potstickers”: Ready in 15 minutes with only four ingredients and one pot, this recipe turns frozen Good & Gather Chicken & Vegetable Potstickers into a cozy, brothy, vegetable-filled soup finished with chili crisp.
- “Potato Chip Butterscotch Cookies”: A sweet treat with a playful side, pairing butterscotch baking chips with crispy potato chips for a salty-sweet twist on a classic cookie.
- “Pomegranate Dragon Fruit Shortcut Shrub”: A five-minute sip with a fruity, tangy punch, made with real fruit juice and Good & Gather Organic Apple Cider Vinegar so guests can dial up the tartness to their taste.
“Good & Gather: Discover Delicious Every Day” launches August 4 in Target stores and on Target.com.
- Some Good & Gather items are specially formulated without these ingredients, while others never or typically don’t have them. Ingredients featured in the cookbook that are not Good & Gather items may not meet the 100+ unwanted ingredients standard.
