ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

For my best friends—Chelsea, Adi, Lily, Leanne, Frances—my chosen family, my soul family, my backbone, and the lights of of my life. I am grateful daily that the universe brought us together.

For my parents, who continue to show up and love me unconditionally through the darkest and lightest of times. Thank you, Mom, for being the best sous chef.

For Lelan, without whom this book would never have come to life. Lelan’s brilliant mind and diligent work ethic were irreplaceable when it came to editing and testing these recipes, as well as offering some of the best tips and tricks in the book!

For Jordan, who makes me look at lot more professional than I am! Jordan is the reason I’m able to get this book into so many hands so quickly.

For Jack and Will, my brothers, simply because they love and support me and know me in a way that no one else ever will.

For Sean, who never ceases to amaze me with his combination of unparalled talent, graciousness, and zest for life. It is an honor of a lifetime

to have him write the foreword for this book, and I am forever grateful.

For Matthew, for taking another chance on me with these big clunky things we call cookbooks. I’m so lucky to have established both a friendship and a mutual professional respect with you.

For Candace, for turning her brain into applesauce editing this, my second-born child. Her attention to detail and kind communication made the process so smooth and successful.

For Alice, who continues to champion me from afar, and who instilled a confidence in me early on that I carry throughout every work endeavor.

For the whole team at Blue Hills Press, as well as my incredible photographer Anna—they make the real magic happen, and the amount of work they put into this project does not escape me.

For all of my readers and the LL Balanced community. None of this would exist without you, period. Thank you for trusting me and thank you requesting more from me!
