Time Inc to move test kitchens to Alabama
New York
TIME Inc, America's largest magazine publisher, is moving almost all its recipe testing and other food editorial production for its 29 domestic magazines and websites to Birmingham, Alabama, where it is building a food studio with 28 test kitchens, a dozen photography studios and a private dining room.
The multimillion-dollar investment in the complex is part of a renewed commitment to food coverage for the nation's largest magazine publisher, whose publications include People, Real Simple, Essence, Sports Illustrated and Travel & Leisure. Though some test kitchens in New York will close as a result, the move is seen as an expansion that will add about 44 jobs.
