Third edition of the Alinea cookbook. Thirty courses across fourteen shoot days in the restaurant itself — most frames made between 03:30 and 06:00 while the kitchen prepped for service. Single Profoto B10 through a 90cm octa for every plate; no bounces, no fill. Colour managed on-set with a Lacie Pro; final grade in Chicago.
