Thank you to Judith Jones, who pulled this book out of the fire, encouraging me to finish it. I shall always be grateful. Her painstaking interest in the design has made this the beautiful book it is. Toula Polygalaktos, also at Alfred A. Knopf, has devoted many hours and much energy to it, with care and good humor. Sue Hunter, my collaborator, put in a great deal of effort as well—thanks for your patience. My beloved friend Kate Almand has worked for me since 1972, starting at my restaurant in Social Circle, Georgia, then coming on to Rich's Cooking School with me. She arrives at my door at 7:30 each morning. She's at the television studio when I'm there, or at home with me, testing these recipes. One of thirteen children, she is the best traditional Southern cook I know, and contributed many of the solidly traditional recipes in this book. I'm very grateful for her friendship and support. To Kay Calvert, who has worked with me since my first class at Rich's—thanks for never complaining. The other teachers and assistants at Rich's Cooking School contributed enormously in developing recipes over the years, encouraging me and helping define Southern cooking, and the students brought me more riches.
