'Between the gnocchi and the orecchiette, I would say that about a couple hundred people have DM’d me with their photos'
Photo: Laila Gohar While you’ve probably seen more than a few sourdough loaves in your friends’ Instagram Stories recently, over the past few weeks a different carb has been slowly gaining traction: gnocchi. Specifically, a gnocchi recipe created by food artist Laila Gohar, who is best known for her beautiful and intricate food installations .
We at the Strategist are not immune to the appeal of Gohar’s recipes: I’ve personally made her beans, chicken stock, and candied orange peels, while Strategist senior editor Katy Schneider has made the gnocchi . Plenty of other followers, across the country and the world, are re-creating Gohar’s recipes, too, and many have posted photographs of their meals artfully laid out on ceramics and heirloom-esque doilies similar to the ones Gohar photographs her own foods on.
The aspirational, somewhat unusually, appealingly muted presentation doesn’t hurt either. “The foods are very beige, which is against the rules of food on Instagram, where images are usually high contrast, textured, and saturated — whereas with Laila, the most texture you get is the silk doily under the food. It’s softer and more diffuse,” says Naparstek. “Plus, you’re seeing someone cooking and living among beautiful ceramics and bowls.
