The food editors of The Saturday Paper are among the country's leading chefs. Since the paper's launch, they have worked with renowned photographer Earl Carter to produce its food pages. Unlike at other newspapers, all recipes are cooked and styled by the chefs who developed them. The shoots are done at chefs' homes or in their restaurants. The outcome is work that directly articulates each chef's vision and Carter's singular eye.
