I want to thank my husband Jon for two reasons. First, for being my co-author of Vegan Unplugged, the previous incarnation of this book that featured his humor, anecdotes, and survival tips for when the power goes out. Second, for believing in my pantry recipes enough to publish this totally new version that now includes fresh ingredients and new recipes.
Many thanks to Annie Oliverio for her gorgeous photos and for making these simple inexpensive pantry meals look like a million bucks.
I also want to thank Lyndsay Orwig for testing the new recipes in this book, as well as Debbie Blicher for her editing and proofreading skills.
Most of all, I want to thank the readers of Vegan Unplugged for their kind words about that book and their enthusiastic requests for a fresh new take on the recipes. Thank you all for reminding me that quick-and-easy recipes are appreciated come rain or shine.
