ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Terry and Isa would like to thank: Katie McHugh, our beautiful and patient editor at Perseus
Matthew Lore, our publisher at Perseus who took a chance on us in the first place
Christine Marra, our other editor at Perseus, for calling us every 5 minutes
Pauline Neuwirth, our book designer superhero.
Marc Gerald, our super-agent at the Agency Group
Julia Moskin at the NY times, who made us famous
The Nerd NYC community
Isa would like to thank: Justin Field, for building me shelves and keeping the cats at bay.
My mom, Marlene Stewart, for transitioning to veganism and loving tempeh.
Josh Hooten for finally admitting that I am the new face of veganism and he is a washed up old man who listens to Les Savy Five and wonders what might have been. And his beautiful wife Michelle for publishing Herbivore Magazine.
Amy Sims, for being muh guh, (lylas!)
The Post Punk Kitchen forum mods; Paula, Eppy, Angela, Katie and Brian, for deleting spam and threads about honey and dating omnis, thus freeing up my time to play scrabble and write cookbooks.
Erica Levine because I have to thank her in every book or else she headbutts me (someone please help!)
Michelle Moskowitz-Brown for being my sister, even if she doesn’t name the new baby after me. Also, Max for being cute and Aaron Brown for having good genes. (There is still time to name the baby after me)
Gorilla Coffee in Brooklyn, for having free wi-fi and keeping the soy milk out in a thermos. I spent many, many hours there doing most of the writing and editing for Veganomicon.
The Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza for being a glorious place with air conditioning free wifi and, oh yes, so many books! Also, for being around the corner.
Terry would like to thank: John Stavropoulos, my wonderful husband. Who gives great hugs, isn’t afraid to tell me if he doesn’t like something and breaks for seitan.
My parents, Teresa and Nerio, who will make every recipe in this book (even if they don’t know this yet).
My sweetie mother-in-law Eleni for bringing me oregano from Greece that she picked herself from the side of a mountain in Sparta. Now that’s hardcore.
The Forest Hills crew for keeping me company in the kitchen and being awesome: Erica, Keren, Evelyn, Paula, Frank, Jim and Jason.
Drozdal for his evil insight (the title of this tome you hold in your hands).
My boss Mark, my co-workers and my job for being understanding and really nice during my manic months spent making this book (yes, this was the reason I was furiously typing away in my cubicle-cave).
Our recipe testers guided our way throughout this cookbook. Not only did they tirelessly test our recipes, find our typos, help us clarify directions and hold our hands, they also let us know what foods they were craving and gave us endless ideas and inspiration. They let us know what they wanted in a cookbook, so while we would love to take full credit for being psychic culinary geniuses, we’ll pull back the curtain and give them big fat hugs. Thank you guys so much, we love you all!
Pictured: Amanda Sacco tested over 100 recipes. No sooner did we post something than Amanda had tested it. We think she might be a vegan robot. But aren’t all robots vegan?
