| many people erroneously assume this recipe originated in

| Steamed Hams are also frequently confused by residents of Utica

|
| Albany residents commonly enjoy steamed hams on a clear winter
| night from their kitchen, during which time the gentle lights
| of the Aurora Borealis can be observed.

| I was about to say, I'm from Utica and never heard the
| expression. I guess I was thinking of steamed clams.

| _Then came the issue of how to illustrate the book. Laurel and
| her agent had been trying to make the project a reality for
| years, and after talks with Disney Publishing and The Simpsons
| writers, red tape got in the way of it being an official Simpsons
| cookbook. So Laurel signed a deal with Adams Media, which had
| experience in the legalities of unofficial cookbooks (Game of
| Thrones and Downton Abbey, for example) and helped navigate the
| project to publication. One of the loopholes was avoiding any
| imagery from The Simpsons, so Laurel says they had to be
| "creative" in how they designed it - "not just pictures of Homer
| drooling". Using fun illustrations by Priscilla Yuen, a
| distinctively Simpsons-esque typeface, a colour scheme heavy on
| the yellow, and photographs by Harper Point that depict some of
| the most delicious final dishes in all their glory, the book is a
| loving tribute to the show and Laurel's dream project. "My voice
| is very much in there," she adds, on the benefits of going
| "unofficial"._
