This book represents the hard work and dedication of many talented individuals, particularly those in the Special Projects Group at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia: editorial director Ellen Morrissey led the team of editors, including deputy food editor Shira Bocar, managing editor Leigh Ann Boutwell, deputy editor Evelyn Battaglia, and assistant editor Stephanie Fletcher. With design director William van Roden, senior art director Flavia Schepmans created the beautiful design. We are indebted to creative director Eric A. Pike for his guidance, and to photographer Johnny Miller for the majority of the beautiful images (a complete list of photographers). Others who provided ideas and support include:
