Whoa. Cool! (Pictures Edition)

Nina Planck, The Real Food Cookbook
Photography by Katherine Wolkoff

I tripped over this cookbook at the library. It was on a display put together to catch your attention as you walk in. It worked. The book is gorgeous in every way: the photography (food and markets) is exquisite, the paper sensuous (a gorgeous deep matte), the printing and binding top quality, and the recipes fabulous in a “here are some suggestions and add your own inspiration” kind of way. I have always loved books and the idea of designing books. Lately, I’ve been indulging my love by learning how to design high-quality photo books. Planck’s recipe book has been great inspiration.

Coming up with the list of related tutorials and courses - there are several for this topic - makes me wonder if there isn’t an opportunity to create quick tips or “listicles” (how I hate that term) of courses and tutorials that will help you do X, and how those courses and tutorials will help.

(Related tutorials in a separate post, thanks to this crazy system that is limiting my ability to post links.)
