Dedication

We both come from large Italian families, so it only makes sense to dedicate this book to our parents, Joe and Iolanda and Frank and Toni, who instilled in us from an early age a love of food and cooking and the importance of enjoying every moment of life especially those spent with family and friends.

Authors' Acknowledgments

To start, we want to thank Matt Wagner from Fresh Books and our acquisitions editor, Erin Calligan Mooney, for all their work spearheading this project. Our project editor, Georgette Beatty, was such a pleasure to work with, and we greatly appreciate her time and cheerful support in making this cookbook organized and fun to read not to mention her complete understanding of our crazy lives during the writing of this book.

A major thank you to our copy editor, Amanda Langferman, for her dedication to helping us find the perfect wording, especially for the recipes, and our technical editor, Rachel Nix, for ensuring that the information in the book is accurate.

Writing a cookbook and developing recipes was truly a fun experience with a whole lot of recipe testing. Wed like to send a special thanks to Miriam and Jonathon, Joe and Iolanda, and Marla and Jillian for helping us test recipes. You guys are the greatest! And, of course, to our final recipe reviewer, Emily Nolan, and our nutritional analyst, Patty Santelli thank you!
