Many thanks are due to those who helped make this guide possible: very special thanks to the wonderful editorial team at DK, especially Acquisitions Editor Lori Cates Hand and Development Editor Christy Wagner. Thanks also are due to my agent, Marilyn Allen, of the Allen O’shea Literary Agency, and to Carolyn Doyle, for her careful testing of each recipe in this guide. My endless thanks to Nigel Wright for the art direction and design of this beautiful guide, and for spending a week with us directing the photo shoots. Thanks to photographer Kevin Bertolacci for the gorgeous photos, and for being such a kind, wonderful soul, and to Food Stylist Laura Kinsey-Dolph for making each dish look perfect and being an absolute joy to cook with. A million thanks to my amazing friends who helped me in the kitchen during the shoots, especially Tamara Cook, Joe Malone, Katlin Andersen (and Baby Jack), and Gina Hyams. Thanks as well to my “volunteer taste-testers,” especially my niece, Rebecca Doherty, my siblings Kristin and Rob, and my clients, Alex and Jay, whose feedback was essential to making these recipes perfect for the omnivore’s palate. A special debt of gratitude goes to my husband, Jim, whose love and unwavering support know no bounds. This guide is for you.
