ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
WE ARE DELIGHTED WITH HOW THIS BOOK HAS
GROWN. Just like our gardens as they lay dormant in seed packets
or in the dark earth, the black and white words that we wrote as text and
recipes have sprung to life with food styling and colorful photography.
Special thanks are in order to our wonderful editor Kristen Green Wiewora
and our designer Amanda Richmond along with all the other good folks at
Running Press and Perseus Books Group. We’d like to also thank Sonya
Harris who has worked with Karen for many years. Sonya—it is delightful
to have you selling one of our books!
Karen thanks her husband Dick whose passion for tomatoes keeps their
summer lively as they discuss the right way to get the best flavor and the
most yield from their many plants. They both are glad to have Rocky and
Lady, their English Pointers, who keep the squirrels at a distance.
Judith is hoping that her grand-dog Mimi can muster enough bark (she’s
a miniature dachshund) to help her win the squirrel battle, too.
We’d like to thank Lisa and Sally Ekus, our agents, who found a good
home for this book. And, of course, we thank all the many talented
gardeners and grillers who inspire us every year.
