Toast shot
Ok, so the book is pretty much done. All that remains is copyediting, galleys, and other little details. Directly on the heels of turning in the manuscript, we went right into shooting the photos.
We did it with a crew of 4 plus me over 5 long days right here at the house. It was fun, intense, and a very exhausting. Kind of like catering a 5 day party.
But it paid off and we got some gorgeous shots. Here's a little photo essay of mine documenting a few of the moments. These, of course, are not Sara Remington's photos but mine on my little Sony Cyber-shot. But my photos do benefit from the food and prop styling of Nani Steele and Kami Bremyer respectively. Props also go to Sara (of course) and Stacy Ventura, fab photo assistant. Thanks Ladies! While I'm thanking. Thanks also to Emunah, Rachel, Haven, and Susan for all your help during the shoot and to all the parents and kids who modeled at the picnic. You know who you are.

Donut Run from Dynamo Donuts. Oh Yeah!
Tofu Soup with Homemade Kimchi

Sustainable Seafood Stew with Meyer Lemon Parsley Aioli (not pictured)
Sara and Nani valiantly trying to make brown cookies with browner filling look appetizing
Let's celebrate! It's a wrap!

Congrats on the book, I look forward to it. I, too, have been turning away from “store-bought” and pickling and other diy foods and can use some help figuring out modern ways to create some of these dishes.
