Acknowledgments

To my wife, Marja; my children, Cedric, Louise, and Chloe; and to all my dedicated restaurant staff around the world

First and foremost to my family—my wife Marja, my daughters Chloe and Louise, and my son Cedric. To Angela Miller, my agent. To Jennifer Josephy and Steve Rubin for their patience: The Spice Market road was a long one. To Sang An for capturing my Asian cuisine through his eyes. To all my staff worldwide for keeping up with me and my standards and for their loyalty and hard work day in and day out.
