Acknowledgments
The acknowledgments in my books have a fairly constant cast of characters. We’re a tightly knit group, and we easily manage to have a good amount of fun intermingled with the hard work it takes to get a cookbook between its covers.
This book marks the twentieth anniversary of my professional relationship with my literary agent, Susan Ginsburg. Coincidentally, we were friends for years before fate decreed that we work together. I wouldn’t change one second of those years. Bethany Strout is Susan’s wonderful assistant, and a constant help to both Susan and me.
At HarperCollins, thanks and thanks again to David Sweeney for developing the idea for a series of books on seasonal gatherings. It is an unique pleasure to work again with this book’s editor, Stephanie Fraser. The production team at HarperCollins, from book designers Lorie Pagnozzi and Ashley Halsey to copy editor Sonia Greenbaum, is top-notch.
Once again, Diane Kniss cooked by my side, and made writing the book much more enjoyable than it had any right to be. And Patrick Fisher, my life partner, was there to taste, suggest, and wash dishes. (Between the two of them, Diane and Patrick must have washed enough of my dishes to sink a ship.) Ben Fink was responsible for the amazingly appetizing photography. He makes it look easy, but it takes an artist to continuously find new ways to bring food to life on paper. Thanks to Ben’s partner, Joe Tully, for allowing a photo shoot at their home during the hectic holiday season. Arlene Ward and Josine Spina of Adventures in Cooking in Wayne, New Jersey, were generous in lending tableware for the photography. And finally, I lift a glass to my colleagues at Bon Appétit magazine, especially Barbara Fairchild and Kristine Kidd, who give me such a marvelous venue for trying out new recipes.
