Acknowledgments
Sometimes I think I am one of the luckiest people in the world, because I love
the work I do.
For this book, I once again relied on the staff at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
My editor, Rux Martin, as always, believed in my ideas and gave me clear insights
and good direction with her ever-present good humor. Kris Tobiassen created
the beautiful design for this book, and production editor Rebecca Springer was
there to guide it through the process and keep it on track. Publicists Christina
Mamangakis and Brittany Edwards and other HMH staff members contributed
to the success of this book, and I thank them for their hard work.
A great team worked together to produce the gorgeous photos. With his cre-
ative eye and camera artistry, photographer Alan Richardson makes every dish
eye-catching and inviting. Anne Disrude, the food stylist, has a knack for present-
ing food in a natural and appealing way. Betty Alfenito, the prop stylist, sets the
stage for the photos with great style and charm. It is always a pleasure to work with
this talented group.
Throughout my career, I have always known that I could count on my friend
and agent, Judith Weber, for good advice and sensible ideas. Thank you, Judith.
Finally, thanks again to Charles, who through the years has always encour-
aged and shared it all with me.
