I'm lucky to know you. Thanks to The Harvard Common Press for understanding the vital importance of a book about salty sweets. Working with the team at HCP— Valerie Cimino, Jane Dornbusch, Virginia Downes, Janice Geary, Pat Jalbert- Levine, Vicki Rowland, Howard Stelzer, and Betsy Young—is truly a pleasure. Thank you all for taking such good care of me! Thanks to Joyce Oudkerk Pool for the pretty pictures, and to Jen Straus for lovely, unfussy food styling. Thanks to the pastry chefs who inspire me with their creativity and imagination, especially Joanne Chang, Gale Gand, and Elisa Strauss. Thanks to everyone who taste-tested recipes—it's not always easy to give honest feedback, and I appreciate it greatly. (Quick shout-out to first-time guinea pig Sydney James, who took a bite of an ice cream test, made a face, and told me she didn't like it at all.) Thanks to my brother, Seth Matheson, for sharing ideas about food and dreaming up wacky combinations. Most of all, thanks to Will Adams, who is willing to try anything I make and who makes every day so sweet. In gratitude to organizations working to end hunger locally and around the world, I am donating a portion of the proceeds from Salty Sweets to the Greater Boston Food Bank (gbfb.org), the San Francisco Food Bank (sffoodbank.org), and the United Nations World Food Programme (wfp.org)
