Our advice: forget the naysayers and don’t just stick to your lane. As someone who embraces many artistic abilities rather than just one, Athena feels a kinship with other women who do the same. It’s no surprise, then, she’s long felt a connection with sisters Danielle and Laura Kosann of The New Potato, both an online mag that presents everything from entertainment to design to fashion, all through the lens of food–and a creative agency.
The design-savvy duo recently released their first cookbook, Great Tastes. As an extension of their site, the book is not just about the recipes themselves but the stories, the gatherings, the outfits, and the people surrounding the meal. Amen, sisters! Ahead, get to know their (great) tastes a little bit better and learn a recipe from their new tome, their snack-food-inspired Super Savory Seed-Crusted Asparagus.
