ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

T
HE AUTHORS WISH TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED TO MAKE THIS
volume possible. Brian Murray is at the top of the heap, as Admiral of the Fleet. Virginia O'Reilly headed up the home test cooking, edited the recipes to help make them accessible to the home cook, did research, reviewed the manuscript, performed art direction, and pulled every loose oar without hesitation. Without her hard work and focus, we might still be working on it to this day. Gavin provided invaluable help with home recipe testing, sorting photographs, organizing recipes, and wrangling props. George Galati, George Kralle, and Ruben Espinal—the three men of steel—are worth their collective weight in gold (which, as you will realize when you see photos of their muscular physiques, is about the sum total of the stores at Fort Knox, with a little loose change left over). Tom Briglia (
PhotoGRAPHICS,
Linwood, New Jersey) did a magnificent job on the photographs, which have drawn oohs and aahs from everyone who has seen them. Matt Rodin and David Brandt more than pulled their weight in the kitchens of the Atlantic County Vocational and Technical Institute, the institution that donated its facilities for three intense days of cooking and shooting pictures. Guy Dunagan, the gifted pastry instructor at the school, unflinchingly met all of our crazed demands over the days of that shoot. Elise Dunn handcrafted many of the ceramics as well as the handmade paper used as props in the photographs accompanying the recipes. Frank May provided a record for posterity of candid photos documenting the home test cooking process. Gerry Agnew, Maryfrances Strey, and Chris Gordon braved some pretty cryptic handwriting to do the typing of the recipes. Joe Anderson, of Fortessa, Inc., loaned us his beautiful plates and silverware. Thanks to Randy and Kathy Bobe and Randy, Jr., who have not only lent their unwavering support in every endeavor but also donated the proteins for the pictures in this book. Thanks to good friends Bill and Wendy LaTorre, Kevin and Crystal Harrington, Laura Olsen, and to Randall Williams, for his stalwart belief and his guidance. And
thanks to the guy we affectionately refer to as “Television's” Marc Summers, our associate and friend.

Robert would especially like to express his love and appreciation to his wonderful family, whose undying support has allowed him to excel in the pursuit of culinary happiness.
