Of course, publicity is one of the main reasons why chefs write cookbooks in the first place. “If you think about it as a business, then it sucks,” Stupak says. “I honestly wasn’t thinking of it as a business. I was just thinking of it as a brand-building exercise.”

Renee DiResta, a security researcher on the board of the Center for Humane Tech, won’t allow passive screen time, but will allow short amounts of time on challenging games.

“I dare to believe all Southerners are a family,” Twitty writes in his introduction. “We are not merely Native, European, and African. We are Middle Eastern and South Asian and East Asian and Latin American, now. We are a dysfunctional family, but we are family. We are unwitting inheritors of a story with many sins that bears the fruit of the possibility of ten times the redemption. One way is through reconnection with the culinary culture of the enslaved, our common ancestors, and restoring their names on the roots of the Southern tree and the table those roots support.”

The tiny editions are the size of a cellphone and no thicker than your thumb, with paper as thin as onion skin.

“We thought we could control it,” Mr. Anderson said. “And this is beyond our power to control. This is going straight to the pleasure centers of the developing brain. This is beyond our capacity as regular parents to understand.”

This problem is solved by a youngster named Lidey Heuck, a 2013 Bowdoin graduate who started working for Ina right after graduation, after having written Ina a letter delivered by means of a classmate’s father who is Ina’s attorney, because apparently she inhabits some marvelous Victorian novel. Lidey lives in a cute cottage in the Hamptons now, and can take one of Ina’s recipes and cook through it and make the missteps that you or I would make. "Like yesterday," Ina said, "she made a fresh fig jam, and put all the stuff in the pot and she thought, ‘How is this going to happen?’ And I thought, ‘Oh, I can totally understand why it looks like it’s not going to happen, but it will.’ So I just wrote into the recipe, ‘Don’t worry! It’s going to work!’"
