ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Wed like to thank our familiesespecially Doug and Cashel Reil; Tom and Shirley Donovan; Dahlia, Andres, and Sissel Ramirez; and Janet Gallin and Ted Kelterfor being stalwart tasters of our Lazy Gourmet experiments, both delicious and not so, and for supporting us in countless other ways.

We are deeply grateful for the unflagging enthusiasm, diligence, and hard work of Brenda Knight, Frdrique Delacoste, Felice Newman, Mark Rhynsburger, Scott Idleman, Kara Wuest, Bridget Kinsella, Kat Sanborn, and the whole Viva Editions team. We also wish to thank Jeevan Sivasubramanian and Anthony Tassinello for their sage wisdom and advice; Joanne Weir for her kind words and support; and Sarah Rosenberg, Kim Wylie, Elise Cannon, Dave Dahl, and the entire Publishers Group West crew for their invaluable expertise.

Finally, we give the hugest possible thank-you to our army of volunteer recipe testersthe regular home cooks who helped ensure that every single recipe we developed for this book passed our strict tests of easiness, deliciousness, and impressiveness. We could not have done this without their constant encouragement and, most important, rigorous feedback.

So, special thanks to:

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Juliana Gallin and Robin Donovan
Andres Ramirez, aprphotography.com

ROBIN DONOVAN is the author of Campfire Cuisine: Gourmet Recipes for the Great Outdoors and coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Dr. Gotts No Flour, No Sugar Diet. Her food writing has appeared in Cooking Light, Fitness, San Jose Mercury News, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, www.Sallys-Place.com, San Francisco Chronicle, and other publications.

Robin knows her way around a kitchenand has even been known to devote hours to creating exceedingly elaborate dishesbut with a busy writing schedule and an even busier kid, she has to rely on quick, simple recipes if she wants keep up appearances with her foodie friends.

JULIANA GALLIN is the poster girl for Lazy Gourmets. She loves to delight friends and family with magnificent meals, but always aims to avoid complicated, time-consuming, dish-dirtying culinary labors. Her bottom line is that she values flavor, surprise, and sophistication in her cooking, but not if it means having to miss Hoarders.

When shes not cooking effortless gourmet feasts, or writing books about how to cook effortless gourmet feasts, Juliana works as a graphic designer and produces several popular speakers series in San Francisco, including Ask a Scientist, How-To Night, and Comedy Talks.

Robin and Juliana met as college housemates in Santa Cruz, California. An early, ill-fated culinary collaborationa terribly misguided saut of nopales (a Mexican cactus)failed to discourage their friendship or their teamwork in the kitchen. More than 20 years later, both living in the San Francisco Bay Area, they continue to cook and eat together regularly, sharing recipes, ideas, successes, and still the occasional culinary disaster.
