AS IN ANY PROJECT, MANY THANKS ARE DUE. FIRSTTO MY GREAT BOYS, STEPHEN and James, for their patience (or as much as they could muster) upon hearing me say, one more time, that I had to work on the book again (and again...). And to my husband, Chuck, for giving me all the support and needed space to get it done. Getting it done was no small feat, especially considering a large move thrown into the mix, but three fantastic assistants helped to make it happen. A big thanks to Sara, my upbeat kitchen assistant, who never wavered despite some terrific messes. To Chef Laura JohansonI never believed much in fate, but I cant describe why else we met.

To have a professional pastry chef from the Culinary Institute of America, who just happened to be interested in low-sugar baking, able to jump in on a days notice with great professionalism and attitude while I was furiously working on the dessertswith a tight deadline.... You have a long and great career ahead, of that I am sure. And to Christine Sardo, M.P.H., R.D.thank you and thank you again. Hours and hours of tireless helptyping, editing, refining, printingwith a smile to boot (even in the wee hours)! If anyone is listening, this is definitely someone you want to work for you! I am fortunate to have a fantastic editor in P. J. Dempsey, who makes my job as easy as it can be from a publishing perspective.

Thanks for the continued wonderful support and friendship. I would also like to thank the rest of the team at M. Evans for their work and support. Most especially to George de Kay, who passed away this yearyou were always fair, always supportive, and always a gentleman. I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to all the wonderful supporters of my work who helped to make my first book a success and this one possible: Jacqueline Carranza at McNeil Nutritionals, Christina Deyo and Janette Barber from
