This book is dedicated to my mother, Catherine Cain. Without her
encouragement and shared kitchen wisdom, I would not be who I am
today—or have the incessant sweet tooth that I do.
Thank you, Mommy, for your love and support throughout all my kooky
cooking schemes, starting from when I was just a little girl fl inging fl our
everywhere to when I fi rst moved out on my own and called you constantly
to ask for recipe advice, to my current pursuits in school and my career. I’m
so lucky to have you as my mom.
