Acknowledgments
As with the first edition, this
book would never have been completed without the help of many people. These
people deserve thanks for all their efforts and energy. Guy Hart-Davis
convinced me that it was time for a revision and set me to work. Several people
did splendid work during the production process: Kris Vanberg-Wolff, a veteran
of the first edition, worked on the revision until her planned departure for
the calmer (and tastier) world of cooking school. Maureen Adams, Laura Arendal,
and Nathan Johanson took over the production chores after Kris left. They did
an excellent job, especially considering the short notice and even shorter
revision schedule. My heartfelt thanks to all these folks. Mary Madden’s
technical reviews were always full of gentle, constructive corrections and
useful suggestions for improvements. Although I may not have been smart enough
to act on all of them, the suggestions have improved the book immensely—for
which I’m very grateful. Kris Vanberg-Wolff’s eagle eyes and infallible
grammatical sense found and fixed my awkward phrasings, stylistic
inconsistencies, and grammatical aberrations. I shudder to think what the book
would have looked like without the benefit of these efforts. As always, I’m
very grateful to all the people who worked between and behind the scenes to
make this book, and also to those who created the compact disc. Thanks also
tothe many people who sent me information about their products and who took the
time
to answer my questions. Finally, I dedicate
this book to my wife Luanne and my daughter
