Top thanks to longtime cooking wing-man Lura Smith; all of the tasters and testers; and to everyone at Beecher's, Bennett's, and Pasta & Co, practically all of whom had input and influenced the recipes in this book.
And of course you wouldn't be reading this book without The Gourmet Grrl, Laura Holmes Haddad, my collaborator; Julie Riendl, our project warden; Carole Bidnick, our agent; and the operator of my life, my assistant, Erica Wiley Pisconski.
Big thanks to the Clarkson Potter team: my editor, Rica Allannic, as well as Jane Treuhaft and Kathleen Fleury. For the stunning photography, I have to thank Maren Caruso and Scott Mansfield and food stylists Kim Konecny and Julia Scahill.
