This is when it got real. Getting a morning email with this photo and recipe for our “Citrus y Cebollas” salad laid out by our designer Jen is when we nearly shit ourselves realizing this book was gonna look as sick & slick as any food porn on the news stands. Coming from the school of “point-and-shoot” (and put the camera down so you can keep the stove from erupting or the food from getting cold) this was a milestone for us.
Even this photo got reshot, however; it just seemed a little too white-plate and bright lights. The real photo of this salad, needless to say, is completely insane.
So f-in’ funny! I’m making a cookbook now and taking pictures of the grub always gets comments from my husband: “Honey, are you ever coming to the table?” “Dear, you might want to consider putting the camera down, your food’s gotta be cold by now.” and such! Loved seeing someone else express the same sort of sentaments!
