The music playing over the opening credits of The New Pope sent me down a rabbit hole learning about Sofi Tukker, which landed me on this song that I can't stop playing today:

Like, making those clouds is maybe less than 10 houdini nodes (grid-> per-vertex noise->scatter->copy discs to points, then a few constant shaders).

I wouldn’t say I have a ton of experience making the kind of images you’re making, so I’m not sure what houdini might lack that you might need. But I would certainly reach for it first to try to see what making those clouds might feel like in it. I’m not sure what else I’d try...

Also also we’ve been following your renovation project with huge interest. :)

Working on it! As with Aviary book, we’re producing this entirely in-house, which means handling every bit of the process (incl. building a preorder site, which we do in between writing, proofing, color-correcting, designing, etc.) Literally sarah and I doing all of these bits.

Aiming for late spring, though we’re beginning work to set up preorders now.

Agreed! The original recipes did make use of clarifying techniques using centrifuges (rotovaps less so), but we wanted these to be doable at home, so we worked out several techniques to clarify that don’t require specialized equipment. Lots of examples in this book.

Having said that, if you want a book that involves mixing a small handful of pre-made ingredients and having something ready in under ten minutes, this isn’t the book for you. Plenty of “mocktails” books out there for that...this is different.

I literally cooked every recipe in my home kitchen. I don’t own a rotovap.
A juicer is handy, though, to broaden one’s pantry beyond what store-bought juices are available.

But there are a lot of interesting ways to manage sweetness without relying on simple syrup.

Well, this is like asking if the chefs use salt; sugar (in some form) is very useful in order to balance a drink (“balance” is, I’ve learned, chef speak for “properly seasoning”). Soda + herbs tastes “dry” because it lacks any sugar, which can help bring out and brighten flavors.

This is an amazing line.

Ha, thanks sir! We’ll shortly be setting up a way to place orders (no KS this time, we’ll have a site you can order from directly). I got excited and jumped the gun today.

You’ll be glad to know they are all safe for submerging fancy camera gear into, and they drop well.

Working on it! Just tightening the last few bolts on the book itself, then we’ll build out a preorder system.
I should have had a better game plan for this eventuality I suppose, but, eh, I was just too excited.

Hey thank you, and awesome! We found making those Holiday recipes pretty fun as well.
