ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Countless thanks to these who made this book possible:

Harriet Bell at Morrow. A doyenne of publishing: quick-witted, savvy, and
relentlessly fair.

Susan Ginsburg at Writers House. The rarest of agents, a friend.
Beth Shepard at Lisa Ekus Public Relations. Apparently the one media
agent in the world who’ll take limitless phone calls.
Carrie Weinberg at Morrow. Energy beyond bounds in a publicist with the
media’s attention.
Dixie Blake at Ocean Garden in San Diego. Such generosity, with both
product and knowledge. Dixie, you’re the queen of the sea. You made this book
easy.
Karen Ferries at Morrow. Not only an ace editorial assistant but a woman
with trustworthy ideas about Asian cooking.
Annie Leuenberger at Writers House. Unflappable, simply unflappable.
James Haggerty at Morrow. How can someone say yes so many times?
Kate Stark and Mark Landau at Morrow. Simply put, they make books
move.
Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich, Leah Carlson-Stanisic, and Mary Speaker.
Impeccable design sense, far exceeding everything else out there.
Beatriz da Costa. A photographer whose sophisticated style makes shrimp
mouthwatering, even after we’ve eaten 700 pounds of it.
Judith Sutton. A copyeditor with a fine-mesh sieve for manuscripts.
Ann Cahn. A production editor who followed this book from manuscript to
bound book with incredible care.
Karen Lumley. A production manager who kept us on schedule.
Juli Vitello at Home Matters. A tireless executive producer who’s also a
fine supporter.
Lynn Sadofsky and Jennifer DiLullo at Gotham TV. What a hilarious day
we had, filming two guys in a cramped Manhattan kitchen.
John Boyajian at Boyajian, Inc. For his generosity with outstanding oils

and vinegars.
Neil Silverman at DeLonghi. For their generosity with a deep fryer.
Marcos Rodriguez at Alba Specialty Seafood Company. For holding shrimp

for months and delivering it at a moment’s notice.
Marianne Macy. Not only did she eat almost every dish in this book—and

manage to stay TV-thin—but her endless support of us has made this book, quite
literally, possible.

Alethea Worden, Patricia Clough, David Sisson, Scott Stevens, and Carol
Altes. How did we ever end up with such good friends with such good taste?

Danny Diaz and Andrew Mackhanlall. Great sports, even in the face of the
cameras.

Justin Schwartz. How rare, that a first start could become a friendship.
Lucy and Mickey Shoeff. For a lifetime of home-cooking advice.
Kyoko Yagi. A friend for years, and a font of knowledge about the
intricacies of Japanese cooking.
Rainey Day and John Irwin. How could we ever thank you enough for
offering us your country home so we could finish this book and still stay sane?
May the birds live cat-free.
