Creating a cookbook such as this one requires the efforts of a large cast of characters and a set of unusually supportive circumstances. At Moosewood, this web of interconnectedness is especially obvious; with so many of us participating in the developing, testing, research, writing, and other literary peccadillos, the roster of backstage helpers becomes enormous.

Without the enthusiastic cooperation of our friends, neighbors, fellow workers, and families, whose kitchens we used and whose valuable feedback guided us in the right direction, we couldnt have managed to complete this cookbookwe most heartily thank each and every one of you. Even if you only pretended to want to try our third attempt at the same dish in two weeks, your encouragement and appetites were invaluable.

For astute advice, impeccable discretion, humor, insight, and love of good food, we most fondly thank our literary agents, Arnold and Elise Goodman. They have given us unwavering support for ten years and, like good wine, have only improved with age. Quite frankly, we cant imagine Moosewood without them. They are a vital part of our network and simply irreplaceable.

Pam Krauss has been everything anyone could want in an editor: thorough, precise, flexible, witty, prompt, attentive, and organized. We especially loved when she got excited by reading a recipe, went home and made it, and would write amidst the flurry of editing marks on the manuscript, This was really delicious. Knowing she cared about how the food tasted and not just how the recipes were written made us feel incredibly secure. We dub her our editor deluxe.

Thanks are also in order to the CBORD Group, Inc., of Ithaca, New York, for providing the nutritional analyses for the recipes in this cookbook and more specifically to Laura Winter Falk and Laura Ryan for coordinating the effort.

We would also like to thank the following companies for allowing us to try their high-quality nonstick cookware during the course of our work on this book: All Clad, Berndes, Calphalon, Circulon, and Farberware.

Most of all, those of us who worked directly on this book want to thank the entire Moosewood staffboth employees and other Moosewood Collective membersfor their loyalty, patience, hard work, discerning palates, and endless quips. We love you.

T HIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO OUR ROLE MODELS AND FAVORITE TEACHERS, WHO TAUGHT US THAT WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER, AND WHO URGED US TO EXPRESS OURSELVES CREATIVELY, TO DISCOVER HEALTH AND THE MEANING OF ENOUGH, AND TO MEASURE OUR SUCCESS BY THE HAPPINESS IN OUR HEARTS
