ACKNOWLEDGMENTS How can I begin to thank all the cooks of Chez Panisse who in so many different ways have helped us to expand our repertory? Their curiosity and audacity has enabled the restaurant to keep growing and changing. However, special thanks are due those cooks, past and present, who wrote recipes for this volume. They are listed here alphabetically. Some are chefs with over twenty years of experience, and others are young cooks who have only recently moved from jobs washing lettuce and rolling out pasta to the prep kitchens and the line, cooking to order in the café. Wherever there are vivid original turns of phrase and revealing details in our recipes they are in the voices of these hard-working and expressive cooks: Tracy Bates, Catherine Brandel, Patricia Curtan, Eve Felder, Kelsie Kerr, Jennifer Johnson, Christopher Lee, Seen Lippert, John Luther, Scott McGhee, Russell Moore, Jean-Pierre Moullé, Gilbert Pilgram, Richard Seibert, Jennifer Sherman, Peggy Smith, Fritz Streiff, Mona Talbott, Jérôme Waag, Jim Wilson, and Samantha Wood. We are also indebted to Pam Heminway, John Hudspeth, Niloufer Ichaporia, David King, and Glenn Recchia, all friends who are not cooks at Chez Panisse but who have taken the trouble to write down recipes we learned first from them. This book would have been impossible without the special contributions of Alan Tangren. Alan is now our “forager,” whose duties are to locate quality foodstuffs from farmers and markets, negotiate their purchase, and coordinate the ordering by the kitchens of both the café and the downstairs restaurant.
