    Many, many thanks to all of you who have been a source of inspiration and support to me throughout my many years experiencing and learning the joys and wonders of good food.

    Special fond regards go to the following wonderful people who have been particularly encouraging and supportive during the course of writing this book: my husband, Terry, for his unending love, patience, and passion for good food; my parents, Dolores and Merle Moothart, who have long instilled in me the appreciation of hard work, good judgment, and love of laughter; Ten Speed Press founder, Phil Wood, and publisher, Lorena Jones, for their much appreciated belief in my work; and my terrific editor, Melissa Moore, who has been a great partner and true joy to work with. Thanks also go to the entire editorial and design team at Ten Speed Press for their outstanding work, including my ace copy editor, Jasmine Star; editorial director Aaron Wehner; my initial editor, Amanda Berne; proofreader Jean Blomquist; designers Patrick Barber and Toni Tajima; and creative director Nancy Austin.

    And, of course, I must acknowledge my dear cat, Junior, who has been a constant reminder that the best things in life are simpleplenty of good food, rest, and affection.

    Words and Terms to Know

    Enriched: Replaces five nutrients lost in grain processing: thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid, and iron.

    Fortified: Food with nutrients added at levels higher than would be found in the original unprocessed food.

    Fresh frozen: Food thats been quickly frozen while still fresh. Blanching before freezing is permitted.

    Fresh: Food in a raw stateneither frozen nor subjected to any form of thermal processing or preservation. Exceptions include FDA-approved waxes on raw fruits and vegetables, pesticides applied before or after harvest, pasteurization of milk, produce treated with a mild chlorine or acid wash, and irradiation of raw foods not exceeding 1 kilogray (a unit of measure of radiation).

    Genetically modified: The manipulation of an organisms genes by eliminating or rearranging specific genes or by introducing genetic elements from one or more other organisms, including across species boundaries.

    Gluten-free: A food that neither contains nor is derived from wheat, barley, farro, grano, Kamut, rye, spelt, or triticale, and does not include 20 parts or more per million of gluten.

    Imitation: A novel food that resembles and is used as a substitute for a traditional food. Foods must be labeled imitation if they contain less protein or a lesser amount of any essential vitamin or mineral than the traditional foods they replace.

    Irradiation: A process in which food is exposed to gamma radiation from radioactive materials such as cobalt-60 or cesium-137, or through linear accelerator electron beams, to kill bacteria, insects, or parasites that may be present. However, even after irradiation, careful handling and proper storage and cooking of these foods is still necessary, despite all the marketing of irradiation as a food safety solution. Labeling of irradiated products is not required for all ingredients in a multi-ingredient product. The phrase treated with irradiation and the flowerlike irradiation logo have been required on single-ingredient foods for many years, although the term pasteurization might be allowed in some instances if other criteria for pasteurization are met. The FDA allows foods that have been irradiated at levels no higher than 1 kilogray (a unit of measurement for radiation) to be labeled as fresh.

    Natural: Minimally processed, with no added colorings or artificial ingredients.

    Organic: A labeling term that designates the food or product is certified to have been produced according to certain production and handling standards based on enhancing the health of the soil and harmony of the ecosystem. In the United States, a list of substances allowed or prohibited in organic farming, production, and processing is maintained as part of the national organic standards. Processed products labeled Made with Organic Ingredients must contain at least 70% organic ingredients and list up to three of the organic ingredients on the principal labeling panel.

    Quickly frozen: Food frozen using a system such as blast freezing, allowing it to quickly freeze to the center of the food with virtually no deterioration.

    Trans fats: A type of fatty acid formed when liquid oils are processed into more solid fats, like partially hydrogenated fats, vegetable shortening, and hard margarine, creating a molecular structure that seldom occurs in natural fats. Trans fats have been linked to a long list of health problems, including obesity, infertility, increased risk of cancer and heart disease, and accelerated aging and degenerative changes in tissues. Trans fats are typically found in vegetable shortening, some margarines, and crackers, cookies, snack foods, and other foods made with or fried in partially hydrogenated oils.
