Many thanks to my editor, Lizzy Goudsmit, and Susanna Wadeson for believing I could do this. A huge thank you to the wonderful team at The Talbot Inn for their help and encouragement, to the talented Jason Ingram for his photos and to Isobel Gillan for her design.
Thanks to my wonderful family for their constant love and encouragement, to Joanna Weinberg for all the tasting and creating we have done together, and to Jackie, Lou and Sarah for dog walks and sanity.
Finally, love and huge thanks to my wonderful Matt, Amelie and Rafael for all their tasting, comments, love, and for putting up with the mess.
