How does a food magazine get "made," from the chefs that make the recipes, the artists that make the design, and the writers that make the editorial content? We'll discuss the creative process behind the making of the New York Times best-selling food magazine, Lucky Peach, and how it translated its iconic style and approach to food journalism to other mediums—chiefly, its website, and its brand-new set of cookbooks.
