That chicken-artichoke arrangement is not only quite good, it’s very pretty. But I’d like to mention here that it is unwise to expect your company meals to look precisely like the company meals you see in the full-color food spreads everywhere. In this connection, I have news for you: Food photographers do not play fair and square. It was once my privilege to watch a beef stew being photographed in the studio of a major food photographer. It was a superb stew—the gravy glistening richly, the beef chunks brown and succulent and in beautiful juxtaposition to the bright carrots and the pearly onions. I can make a respectable beef stew myself, but my gravy is never that gorgeous, and my onions invariably sink as though torpedoed. I inquired about this and discovered that the gravy had been dyed, and the onions had been propped up on toothpicks! Moreover, that very same morning, they told me, they’d had to lacquer a lobster. There you have it.
