ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
In addition to the greater Moulton and Adler families, who contributed many
ideas and recipes to this book, there’s a battle-tested squad of important people I
have to thank:
Joanne Lamb Hayes, my partner and the hardest-working woman in the
cookbook business.
Judith Weber, my agent, who suggested I write this book.
Sydny Miner, my wonderful editor.
Jennifer Day, my chef de cuisine at Gourmet and the creator of several great
recipes in this book.
Helen Baldus, my stalwart publicist.
Jamie Tiampo, a hardworking, meticulous, and creative photographer.
Bill, Ruth, and Sam, my part-time tasting panel and full-time family.
Finally, I must acknowledge Gourmet magazine, which was shuttered as I was
finishing this book. There’s no way for me to quantify how much I learned
during my twenty-five years as a member of the team, except to say that my
culinary education continued there until the very last day. More particularly, it is
because of my years in Gourmet’s test kitchen that I can say with confidence and
pride that the recipes in this book work.
TO RUTH HUMPHREY MOULTON,
MY FIRST COOKING TEACHER
Kalustyan’s on Lexington Avenue in New York, my favorite store for
international ingredients.
