Acknowledgments
Turning an idea into reality takes the help of many people. In
particular, I'd like to thank my good friend Bill Kulkman, who
devoted a considerable amount of time during the early days of
developing this idea. ToWayne Clifton, a special thanks for testing
the idea in a different part of the country, and to Hank Elias for
building and maintaining the garden we used on our T.V. show.
Barbara Panoras deserves a great deal of credit for pulling the
manuscript together in the early editing stages. But most of all, I'd
like tothank all those chefs I've spoken towho enthusiastically said,
"I'll buy all the fresh produce you can bring me."
They really made this idea come to life and are out there waiting
for you to come see them.
