Acknowledgments

I feel so incredibly lucky to be publishing my third cookbook. To get the opportunity to be in people’s homes and (hopefully) make their lives easier is the greatest gift I could have ever asked for. So the first and foremost thanks is to you, for trusting me with your time, your wallet, and your palate.

I am so grateful to Mango Publishing for being the one and only place where I wanted this book to live. I’m completely inspired by what you guys are accomplishing, simply by being willing to examine tradition and upend what needs to be upended. Thank you for letting me join your mission. Brenda Knight, we hit it off right from the word go, and I feel so lucky to be shepherded in your capable hands. To the rest of Team Mango—especially Chris McKenney, Elina Diaz, Geena El-Haj, Hannah Jorstad Paulsen, Lisa McGuinness, Christina Hodgkinson, Minerve Jean, Nehemie Pierre, Robin Miller, and Veronica Diaz—thank you for the incredible work you do. Your support for this book and all your authors has been marvelous to see. And on that note: Thank you so much to Alison Fargis for finding this book its proper home. You listened to all my gripes about the strange state of publishing and immediately said, “I know the solution.” I’m so appreciative of you.
