..it was an absolute joy to work back at Martha again. I had forgotten just what a lovely bunch of professionals they are! Plus - they have their own prop house so you can always nip across if you run out of anything - which is a great option to have but I like to come fully prepared. I styled the shoot 'organic/modern' - we used lots of Heath Ceramic, Mud and Nicole Farhi. I tried to steer clear of anything too precious - the theme was casual and masculine. I included in a few 'wibbly- wobbly' bits by Christiane Perechon. We worked late into the night - there was talk that one of the recipes might be chosen as a potential cover option so we wanted to make sure everything was just right.
