About

Obviously, all my students from my cooking classes over the years are my coauthors for this book. Their questions frequently made me look for a better and simpler answer. And then there are some specific colleagues and friends who helped me clarify my thinking for this book, both recently and in the distant past.

Roy Finamore, my editor and friend, who had the idea for this book, and then tasted much of the food as I worked on the recipes, offering his suggestions as I cooked and wrote.

Arlene Feltman, director of Macy’s De Gustibus cooking series in New York City, gave me literally a platform from which to teach for over a decade.
