ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A special thank you to the following people, without whose help this book could
not have been written:

support, and unending patience; my editor, Harriet Bell, whose friendship I value
as much as her top-notch editing; and my agent, Judith Weber, for believing in
me and this project.

My longtime friend and chief recipe tester, Betty Shenberger, and assistant

photograph every berry I brought him.
Chris Benton, copy editor; Ann Cahn, production editor; Karen Lumley,
production manager; Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich, jacket art director; and Leah

“The intention of every other piece of prose may be discussed and even
mistrusted; but the purpose of a cookery book is one and unmistakable. Its
object can conceivably be no other than to increase the happiness of
mankind.”
