We have met so many amazing people, received endless encouraging e-mail and letters from fans, and have had an amazing time promoting the book. I still cant quite believe that Im a cookbook author with two books under my belt! There are so many friends and family that I need to thank, but first I want to thank you. Thats right Im talking about YOU! Thank you for supporting us when How It All Vegan! first came out, and for buying multiple copies to give to your friends and family; for forwarding our web page (GoVegan.net) to people you thought might be interested; for showing up at our various cooking demos and laughing at our silly skits and for watching us on TV.

I am touched and inspired by your encouragement every day. Without your support, we wouldnt have been able to write The Garden of Vegan. I also have to thank my husband Gerry (gerrykramer.com), who rocks my world. He is always by my side through thick and thin and is the most patient, supportive, loving partner a girl could ever wish on a star for. He is a tireless supporter of me and my dreams and works hard so I can achieve them. Hugs and snuffles to my fur-family, Sir Douglas-Fort and Fergus.

You guys are always at my fingertips when I need you. To Riley and BB, to know you was to love you and to be loved by you was amazing. Snuggles and scratches to Frankie and Jupiter. Thank you to everyone in the Kramer, Ball, Geiger, Reid, Anderson, and Kindrachuk family. They fully support everything I do and having that kind of support makes a girl stand taller. Especially my Dad and Denise, both of whom have an adventurous spirit when it comes to food, and thank Elvis it rubbed off on me.

Your support and encouragement is priceless. Thanks to my brother Ben for all his chef advice. And to my niece Heidi and my nephew Eli: you are what dreams are made of. Thanks also to: Maureen; your friendship is precious and I am blessed to have you in my life. To Jennifer, who is my rock, and her family, and Shoshana and her family (especially Gerry, who sends me horribly hilarious e-mail). Maury, Graham, Theresa, and Meagan.

Todd for finding his way back into my life. Corri, Rob, Scott, all the old-school Regina gang, and the Springfield kids who still keep in touch. The gang at the Queen Street house (Ken, Joe, and especially Meghan, who left us too soon she always had a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye and I miss that). All the ladies at the Stitch N Bitch, Corri, Lisa, Greg, and lil Charlie. Jana at Earths Herbal Products. The gang at The Tattoo Zoo, especially Janine for being so supportive of Gerry and me.

Everyone in the Capital City Scooter Club; I am so lucky to have a group of friends like you, especially all my ladies in the Wild Cherry Scooter Club. And those in the scooter scene in the Pacific Northwest; you guys rock! Special thanks to Garry and Andree Hurl for finding me a portable dishwasher (they saved me from dishpan hands). To Cheryl at Totos Pet Grooming for her sage doggie advice and for keeping Fergus looking so sharp. Thank you to Gail, Leeza, and Steve for making my back not hurt anymore. Thanks to Danny Smith (LaymanBooks.com) who inspires me to write, and helps me to focus, and Becky for all her advice! And again, I need to thank Tanya, who has been my bestest best friend for over ten years. Weve never really had a fight (knock on wood) well, okay, maybe a few grumpy words, but never a knock-down yelling match.

Well, there was this one time where I was so mad at her I couldnt talk and I had to put the phone down oh, and then theres the time I hung up on her. But dont worry, we worked it out like we always do. I could hang out with her 24-7 and the only thing that would drive me crazy is that she doesnt like to plan ahead for what were going to be eating later on in the day (!). We are almost always on the same page; she laughs at my stupid jokes, she doesnt think Im a dork, and she supports every single choice I make. I love her to death. Yay, Tanya! Best friends rock! Thank you to my late friend Peter Boyle.

He inspired me in more ways than I can say with a few choice words. Not a day goes by that I dont think about him and miss him. Lastly Id like to leave you with one of my favorite quotes. In the immortal words of Lloyd Dobler here are some words of wisdom to live by: I dont want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I dont want to sell anything bought or processedor buy anything sold or processedor process anything sold, bought, or processedor repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I dont want to do that.
