What a pleasure it has been, every step of the way, to work on this, my first effort for Kyle Cathie. Kyle welcomed me on board with warmth and grace and all the hours spent planning and working with my publisher and editor Anja Schmidt have been as enjoyable an experience as I can remember. Of course nothing here would exist without three other important people, my agent, Phyllis Wender, my own freelance editor, Natalie Danford, and Rose Kaplan, who helped test all the recipes. A big thank you to all for your support, kindness and generosity.
