Reviews
4 Stars -“I know this will sound a bit like a cliché, but I have been looking for a good lean transformation recipe my whole manufacturing career. I never imagined that I would find the perfect recipe until I tried this recipe. The company turned out crisp and lean with just right amount of filling, not a drop of waste. I will hand down this recipe for generations of management to come.”

5 Stars-“YUMMY! The easiest, best tasting lean transformation I’ve every tried”

1 Star -“Awful recipe. My first batch failed to rise and left a lingering, bad taste in my mouth. The trick may be to make sure the dough is well mixed with no concrete like, hard parts remaining. If the batch is not mixed with the right amount of ingredients, the batch easily crumbles and falls apart.”

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an easy recipe like this for our lean transformation?
