Tore and Craig took the initiative to write this book, which the entire team of authors has developed further.
Kenneth contributed to concept development and art direction, while Mats took fantastic pictures and
contributed his unique experience with food and cookbooks. Tore and Craig picked out who we were going
to visit and where to go, in addition to overseeing the interviews, recipes, and the book’s contents. The text
is penned by Craig, while Tore organized the baking for photos accompanying the recipes. This is how the
book came into being. Help with proofreading, correcting and valuable help with translation by Thomas
Muravez for Semantix.
To the angels, demons, saints, and fools
