Acknowledgments

When I was in third grade we drew posters in school titled “All About Me.” We listed our favorite color, we had pictures of our family, and we created lists such as “When I Grow Up I Want to . . . .” My Grown-Up Bucket List read ”1. Write a book, 2. Become President of the United States, 3. Learn how to ice skate." In that order. I had my priorities straight, even at eight years old.

I assumed that writing a book would be a solo venture: just me and a computer. The reality is that writing this cookbook was one of the most collaborative and other-people-influenced projects I’ve embarked upon, not to mention one of the most enjoyable. This book would not have happened, period, without help from the following people.
