The journey of spinach

The same 16 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 spinach: 16 plates, 10 ways of cooking them, drawn as three rings — how it is cooked, how it arrives, and which part of the menu it arrives in.
