Acknowledgments

I come from a family with many talented, resourceful cooks, and I would like to thank them all, but especially my grandmother, whose kitchen table was in many ways the epicenter of my childhood; my mother, who changed the lives of thousands of children but also made her own Concord grape jelly; and my sister, an artist in the kitchen and everywhere else, who has made all the best meals of my life.

INTRODUCTION

Let me begin by saying that when it comes to food, I am extraordinarily lucky. I come from a family of gardeners and cooks and epicurespeople who celebrate real food, prepared simply and well. I know this now, but it must be said that as a child I wasnt always so sure. From quite early on, I was aware that at our house, there were no snack foods in little foil packets, no foods in unnatural shades of orange or blue. Many of the fruits and vegetables we ate, we grew: from zucchini and Swiss chard to blueberries and black raspberries to apples and tomatoes and herbs. At the grocery store, we were not allowed to choose breakfast cereal that listed sugar as one of the first three ingredients, which eliminated the cereals I coveted most, such as the one shaped like tiny chocolate chip cookies, and the one that consisted mostly of marshmallows.

When I got to school, I became even more aware of the contrast between my pantry and the pantries in some of my friends homes, from which emerged sandwiches made with blocks of cheese that didnt have unpronounceable French or Scandinavian names, and cookies that were never unevenly colored because nobody had actually baked them. When I was in sixth grade, my mother and her sister catered a family wedding, and my cousin (who today makes exquisite pastries herself) and I remember that year as an especially dark one, during which our school lunches were filled with tiny chocolate cheesecakes topped with real slices of candied apricot and perfect, miniature clairs from my mothers deep-freezer in the basementnot hot commodities on the cafeteria trading circuit, needless to say. I cringe when I imagine how my mother felt hearing me beg for real cookies from the store.

Today, the way my mother shopped and cooked is the norm for an increasing number of families in a changing world where farmers markets are thriving, ordinary grocery stores offer organic, local, free-range, antibiotic-free, and ethnic ingredients once exclusively the province of health food or specialty stores, and many towns have Thai, Indian, or Middle Eastern restaurants serving foods that your children will love. Although an infinite variety of artificially flavored and colored and highly processed snack foods remains ubiquitous, we know so much more about health and nutrition that even the least enlightened corporations are eliminating trans fats and high fructose corn syrup from many products due to consumer demand. It is easier than ever before to find healthy alternatives to the snack foods once so blithely advertised during Saturday morning cartoons. In a surprising and to my mind all-too-welcome trend, many parents are cooking again and teaching their children that cooking is an art and good food a true source of pleasure in life.

Now that I have two children of my own, the way I think about food has changed, along with the way that I cook. I realize now how much of the food served to me as a child by my working mother was cleverly and quickly prepared, and I have incorporated many of her time-saving strategies into my own kitchen, as a working mother myself. I also feel a responsibility about food that I dont always relish. Occasionally, we have cupcakes for dinner because I need to remind myself that one of the rewards of the hard and sometimes churlish work of making sure your children eat well is that a truly well-balanced diet has room for indulgence. As much as I believe that children can and should love perfect little roasted brussels sprouts, I also think they need pink frosting, if not for the body, then certainly for the soul.
