ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I couldn’t have written this book without my husband: partner in crime, chief taste tester, now-expert-grocery-store-navigator and patient eater of all the cold meals that happen when you live with somebody who is testing and photographing recipes all day, every day. I guess I owe you a few hot meals …

None of this would have happened in the first place if it wasn’t for my friend and nest-pusher, Steph, who inspires me every day to be better and more badass than the day before. I owe you more thanks than you know!

Amy and Ciarra—you kept me sane, made me laugh and helped me through a few not-so-perfect situations like Plumbergate 2014. Ladies, I’ll be showing my appreciation in the form of pork belly, I promise!

Peter, I owe you a favor in return for your meatball expertise! And fluency in Swedish, because goodness knows what would have happened if I’d tried to translate Swedish on my own …

I also want to thank the team at Page Street Publishing who have given me the opportunity to do what I love and turn my vision for this book into a reality with all their help, support and encouragement. We just won’t mention the coffee explosion again, okay?

Last but not least, I’d like to thank Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD, for her tireless research and work in creating, explaining and spreading the word about the AIP. Without her, I would probably not have ever come across the AIP, this book would never have happened and I would not be on my path to healing.
