Each swirl of sauce, tip of leaf, and billow of cream is delicately intensified until you feel you could almost just reach in and scoop up anything you’d like right off the page.īut he wasn’t always the culinary ambassador he is today, bringing great chefs across the country together to support Action Against Hunger. Instead, he looks at each plate’s architecture. He rarely cares about what the dish is made of or how expensive the ingredients are, although he finds it delightful when he’s invited to indulge in a dish of particularly rare ingredients (check out his truffle experience here). A simple white plate, two small lights, one click, and magic happens. One shot and he transforms a beautifully plated dish into a stunning work of art. ![]() ![]() “9 times out of 10 the best shot is the first,” Battman said. A chef plates up a dish, and just as he wipes any last smudges off of the plate, the shoot begins. Steaming, melting or oozing, he catches it in its glory. He’s not only the first photographer I’ve ever met who can set up and be ready to shoot within five minutes of arrival, but he’s the only one I’ve ever heard of who rides up with full camera and lighting equipment on a bicycle! He shoots real food. Crisco masquerades as a scoop of ice cream, paper towels push up a bowl of pasta for an ample look, and a collection of plates, wooden boards and table cloths help bring the food to life.īattman throws all of that out the window. And the lights start burning into your eyes. There’s the recipe creator, a food stylist, the photographer, maybe a few assistants… and they’re long. Now if you’ve ever been to a photo shoot, particularly a culinary one, you’ll know how labor intensive they usually are. Each volume is filled with vividly colored photos of dishes that are passionately created, uniquely representative of the chefs inside, and paired with simple recipes for anyone at home to recreate.

But mostly they’re only gently guided toward what they’ll design whether the dish should be petite, seasonal, pasta, pudding, or Pie. Sometimes, as was the case with the book Colors of Dessert, they’re forced to literally pick out of a hat to see what they’ll be working with. From Jean Georges, Daniel, and Eric Ripert to the “little guys”, each chef is given carte blanche to create any dish they like as long as it’s within the realm of the theme given. This last time around, it was all about taking photos for the upcoming book Pies the latest in his line of cookbooks that feature some of the greatest and most iconic chefs in the country. “Heeeello, it’s Battman!” he’ll croon and immediately dive in to what’s going on next at The Chef’s Connection. ![]() Taxes, fees not included for deals content.It’s always a pleasure hearing Battman’s voice on the phone.
