ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Many talented people worked together to create this book, in particular Jennifer Aaronson,
editorial director of food, and Ellen Morrissey, editorial director of the Special Projects Group
at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Executive editor Evelyn Battaglia, managing editor
Susanne Ruppert, and editor at large Amy Conway also worked diligently on the recipes and
supporting text throughout the book. We are grateful to contributing art director Michele
Outland for the book’s beautiful design and for the art direction of the photography,
particularly the new work by photographers Jonathan Lovekin and Con Poulos, who lent their
considerable talents to this project (a complete list of contributing photographers appears on
this page). Miller Mobley photographed the lovely portrait of Martha that graces the cover.
Thank you to design director Jennifer Wagner and deputy art director Gillian MacLeod for
their work as well, particularly on the book’s cover design. We are grateful, as always, to
editorial and brand director Eric A. Pike for his guidance, to design production associate John
Myers for his assistance with the voluminous photography, and to photo assistant Anna Ross for
her valuable contributions. Others who provided ideas and support include: The team at Martha
