Thank you to all the friends and family who gave us support and encouragement as we worked to make Jewish Cooking Boot Camp a reality.
To Ellen Cohen and Jill Kaplan, the original Boot Campers and unofficial Marks family members. Their love of latkes sparked 200 pages.
To Adina Kahn for believing in our concept and to Jane Dystel for being our advocate and adviser.
To our wonderful editor Heather Carriero for bringing our vision to life and to Julie Marsh and the rest of the team at GPP for their hard work.
To everyone who donated their family recipes and traditions to make this book so complete.
And most of all to David, Sarah, Jacob, Gil, Edie, and Allan for their love, their ideas, and most of all . . . their appetites.
