NOTES AND COMMENT from Pat
Let's go to the data. FE Volume 37 was well received. The mini-case study, Sauces N' Love, was the most read article with 18% of our readers clicking through, followed by the Nebraska National Small Food Manufacturers Conference sponsor ad with 16%, and the always read Food Label News with 13%.
Volume 38 begins a series of articles about all aspects of Kitchen Incubators from Kathrine Gregory, Founder and President of Mi Casa es su Casa, a New York-based authority.
