Melissa A. Trainer Communications also specializes in recipe development. Missy works closely with various trade associations to create appealing and accurate recipes that highlight that association’s special ingredient.

Whether she's working with salmon, cod, crab, grains, or greens, Missy carefully develops each dish, writes and edits the recipe, and retests each recipe for accuracy, timing, flavor, and final presentation.

Having attended many cooking schools, including the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, Missy knows that busy home cooks gravitate towards simplicity and that they rely on accurate instructions in order to get the best results. Missy’s recipes are simple and seasonal and are designed to highlight ingredients at their finest.

While developing and retesting the dishes, Missy always snaps photos of the finished dishes.
