This cookbook I designed in 2021 is loud for @pat.omalley ‘s photography of course ( trop belle food but also weird grasses, moistures, and strange reflections ) and for chef @brad_leone ’s ultimate “bro” “down”
BUT the ONE nugget that made this project worthwhile for *ME* is the way I’ve highlighted the ingredients in a colored text stroke and called out the color when it appears in the instructions.
Cooking is time-based but the elements don’t fire off in an even order. The operations kinda clump in clusters. I like how I was able to give the reader a “sense” of the timing of everything just by nuggets of color — by scanning, no reading!!! I often think it’s good for editors to work with someone like me cause I’m more illiterate than them.
Working in the journalism context for so long I'd absorbed a preference as truth that color should (ideally always but) first have a utility in data delivery, and that color used as a pure decorative element for its own enjoyment is a great sin!!!!!!!
It’s taking a while to unlearn. These days I’m comparing 10 shades of the same orangey-red to see which “looks best”. Sensors can be recalibrated and sharpened… ✨🥹

Two days ago we published this on the NYT to, as the tens of thousands of downvotes on this page show, a room full of haters. : — 0 So far it looks like the group that resonates most with NYT readers is ......... Academics. Smart people who love truth are at number 1, but they are also the most divisive. “America can’t agree, it's so sad”, my editor comments in Slack. Brad Pitt is confoundingly trailing behind Girlbosses, but there's still time to rectify: 5 more days until voting closes so please leave your mark 🤳nytimes.com/fame🤳!!!!!!!!
