The journey of hollandaise

The same 14 plates read outward from the middle: how the kitchens cook it, how it then arrives, and which part of the menu it arrives in. A wedge too narrow for its word carries it in the table underneath.

The journey of hollandaise: 14 plates, 5 ways of cooking them, drawn as three rings — how it is cooked, how it arrives, and which part of the menu it arrives in.
