Well done - quick too - you are up tomorrow. 
This was originally a hint for a FSOW I posted a few weeks back, but I thought it was too good to waste on a hint!

I don't have the full explanation though.
Book the Font = definition, Times New Roman common font in book printing
Caesar = Roman
birth = New
paper = Times
announced in = ?? reverse words ??
Ok... Take two... Maybe it works more like this?
Caesar's birth = New Roman
paper = Times
.. announced in .. = Times New Roman

Pretty close: think punctuation:
"Caesar's birth announced in paper!"
"Times: New Roman!"
"The Times" is a newspaper in many countries...

Times New Roman was a popular font for books (and many other publications, including internet web sites that couldn't find Comic Sans), and you could "Book a font" for the baptism of a newborn.

Probably would have been better to leave out the article. "Book the font" is not really a fair representation of "book font".

...but it's needed to make the clue into a sentence. Misdirection is allowed in CCC's! Encouraged even!

No it isn't! You don't hear sergeants major crying out "Present the arms!"
OriginalGriff wrote: Misdirection
This isn't misdirection. It's lies. Damned lies! The misdirection is already there in the use of 'book' as a verb in the surface reading while getting the answer requires it to be read as a noun and the suggestion of the 'wrong' meaning of 'font'.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

"Tovala utilizes a combination of dry and wet heat cooking technology instead of microwave technology to quickly cook food and get the right overall temperature for each meal. You can cook several different types of foods such as chicken, rice and asparagus in the same unit at the same time, for example, using Tovala’s technique."
"Tovala hooks into your smartphone using an app to keep track of your cooking time. Just scan the barcode on your prepared meal, open up the oven and pop it in then hit a few buttons as per the instructions to heat it up and keep track of it on your cellphone." [^].
Could this replace OriginalGriff's sous vide ?
I shudder to think of the cost of consuming pre-packaged meals from the company frequently. I'm addicted to shopping in the local Thai open market, where I know the lady who sells fish, the lady who sells potatoes, the man who makes 24 hour round trip journeys to a province far in the south to bring back unprocessed palm sugar, the most delicious sugar in the world ... the man and wife who sell fruit, and they know me, to buying fresh-made soy-milk at 6am in the morning from a delightful husband-wife duo in their sixties who are among the happiest people I've ever known; less than US $1 for almost two liters.

It's called "added value", the question people keep failing to ask is: Added value for whom?
