Southeastern Mills used the Research Chefs Association’s Culinology Expo to showcase an extensive line of seasoning blends, rubs and marinades; sauce, gravy, soup and baking mixes; food bases; and broth concentrates.
Good cooking begins with good ingredients, and together, they lead to a good bottom line, as this article from The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) explores in discussing marinades.
