Deb Lynch, Recipe Tester
A list of all the recipes Deb Lynch has tested.
Deb began honing her culinary skills at her grandmother’s elbow making homemade noodles, doughnuts and cakes. The love of all things food continued and after college she landed her dream job working on product development, food ingredients and a slew of other experiences with the Pillsbury Doughboy and Jolly Green Giant. She combines her love of travel with searching out cooking schools around the world where she has been known to take classes in languages she doesn’t speak but finds food to be a universal language.
Deb runs a Cooking School in Central Florida and volunteers as a Cooking Instructor with the University of Minnesota Extension. Buttery Brioche is the recipe that brought Deb to Leite’s Culinaria and continues to be a favorite, as well as Instant Pot Pork Pozole, Blueberry Muffins with Sugar Topping, Dry-fried Green Beans, and Slow-Cooker Indian Style Chicken.
Low-Carb Chicken Marsala
This version of the classic does away with the traditional flour coating. What’s left are pure, clean flavors that work for everyone.
Shrimp Bisque
Creamy, easy, and can be made with ingredients in your fridge and pantry. You’re just a quick half-hour away from a wicked good meal.
Brown Butter Banana Bread Sheet Cake
Sheet cakes are a great choice for a crowd or just for a Tuesday. Easy to bake, decorate, and transport and loved by all. This moist chocolate banana beauty is no exception.
Clove, Cinnamon, and Chocolate Cookies
Sometimes, a chilly afternoon just calls for a warm beverage and something full of cloves, cinnamon, and chocolate that’s perfect for dipping.
Raspberry Vodka and Lime Soda
A not-too-sweet little sipper, made with vodka and Chambord and garnished with fresh raspberries, this refresher perks up cocktail hour.
Spicy Marinara Sauce
Here’s a recipe for a spicy marinara sauce that’s simple to make, tastes amazing, and just happens to be vegan. Boil your fave noodles and you’re done!
One-Bowl Blueberry Buckle
Blueberry buckle is so easy to make but so hard to forget. Seriously–crispy edges, jammy blueberries, and tender cake in between. It’s perfection.
Armagnac Ice Cream
A clean-flavored ice cream laced with Armagnac is a perfect companion to fall fruits like plums, prunes, pears, and figs but adds a nice finish to summer meals.
Beef Bourguignon Skillet Pie
An updated riff on that classic, but labor intensive, traditional French dish. Topped with pastry, it hits all the sweet spots.
