The FAA is announcing $20.4 million in grants to airports for using zero-emissions vehicles and electrifying equipment that currently relies on fossil fuels.
Why it matters: While next-wave, future aviation/aircraft tech gets lots of attention, nuts and bolts equipment at airports is decidedly low-tech (think diesel generators and dirty shuttle buses) and ripe for the deployment of existing and mature low-emissions systems.
Although franchises like Cooking Mama have made cooking games a popular genre, more games are putting emphasis on the cultural aspects of food.
Why it matters: Food preparation isn’t just about following recipes and creating delicious meals — there’s history behind some culinary creations and meaning to how they’re prepared.
"Soup Pot" isn’t meant to be an ultra-realistic dive into cooking, however; ingredients will scream their names. Pagtakhan’s art, though meticulously rendered, reflects that personality.
Between the lines: Making food you can’t taste, touch or smell look mouthwatering requires a lot of playing with textures and lighting. Pagtakhan says she researched food photography to figure out how to best present any given dish.
The big picture: For Pagtakhan, who loves to watch cooking videos, food is a way to de-stress. “I am a very introverted person, and I don't have any other outlet to de-stress,” she told Axios.
But Pagtakhan says she spends “an unhealthy amount of time” staring at food as part of the job, at least eight hours a day.
When it comes to her own art, however, Pagtakhan has literally seen too much of the sausage being made to find it appetizing.
As part of her process, Pagtakhan keeps a mood board to set the tone for recipes showcased in "Soup Pot." "Sometimes I kind of lose track of my original vision," she said.
