As Moosewood cooks and cookbook authors, we share a common experience: Our friends and families are afraid to cook for us. They think we expect a gourmet meal when honestly, after a long day of chopping mountains of vegetables, we are grateful for the simplest fare. So thanks to all of you who set aside your worries and nurtured us with good food and companionship. We hope this collection of recipes will inspire you to invite us over more often!
We wish to thank our Moosewood Restaurant partners for running the show while we were testing recipes and writing this book: Joan Adler, Ned Asta, Tony Del Plato, David Dietrich, Neil Minnis, Eliana Parra, Sara Robbins, and Myoko Maureen Vivino. We also wish to express appreciation to our hardworking employees.
Our affection and thanks go out to our friends and agents, Arnold and Elise Goodman. We greatly appreciate the careful eye and expert guidance of our editors at Clarkson Potter, Pam Krauss, Jennifer DeFilippi, and Rica Allannic. We also send special thanks to Marysarah Quinn for her admirable work as the creative director on this book. Her calm, competent influence has been invaluable to us. Thanks again to our designers Jan Derevjanik and Laura Palese for doing a beautiful job. And thanks also to the rest of the Clarkson Potter staff for their enthusiastic, friendly help.
We wish to express our appreciation to our photographer, Jim Scherer, and food stylist, Catrine Kelty, for creating graceful photographs for our book. We admire your artistry and dedication to your craft.
And finally, without the technical expertise and the good-natured patience of Emilio Del Plato, we would have been a sorry, frustrated bunch who did not see our computers as our friends during the process of preparing the manuscript. Thank you, Emilio.
