The Photographs
Two kinds of photograph, one book.
A photographer comes for the people, the hands and the room. Our studio makes every other dish from its recipe, in the same light. Every image is composed and reviewed by hand, by people, so no page is left without its picture.
- The photographer
- Your own editorial photo shoot: half a day in your kitchen with the family and friends around you, the dishes photographed as they're made
- The studio
- Every other recipe, made from its text in the same light, each image reviewed by hand
- How
- The newest image tools, directed with an art director's eye
- Before print
- The family sees every image and asks for changes
- The result
- No empty pages. Every recipe with its photograph.
From the page to the plate
What they wrote, and what we made of it.
From Aunt Ruth
Pecan Pie
“Pecans on top, whole, not chopped. Pull it when the middle still moves a little. The crust goes darker than you'd think. That's right.”
From Daniel
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
“Cubes, a hot oven, and leave them alone until the edges burn a little. Pomegranate at the end, because Mom said it needs color.”
From Priya
Chaat
“Crispy potatoes, cold yogurt, both chutneys, the green and the tamarind. Red onion, a fistful of sev. Eat it before it goes soft.”
Every recipe, its own picture.
Potatoes in green chutney.
