Country French Vegetables, page 248 Acknowledgments This book has not been a one-person undertaking by any means. Margaret and Cliff have helped to make these recipes workable and readable. Tony and PJ tended to innumerable details. Taylor and other staff from The Good Cooking Store prepped and prepped. And prepped. Bonne and her helpers—and Jeremy—found the light in each recipe. Merle, Kate, and Rebecca believed in and encouraged this project along from its very first breath. I can’t imagine working without a team. How am I so fortunate? I am grateful to each of you. — Phyllis Copyright © 2014 by Phyllis Pellman Good All rights reserved.

It’s capable of a lot more than you might have imagined. So don’t be shy about what you ask it to do—like make cakes and breads and breakfast while you sleep. Or help you cook a meal for guests while you’re all away enjoying a movie or football game together. Or relieve your pressure when you’re hosting the whole family for a holiday meal. These are near-miracle appliances, especially if you understand a little bit about how they work. Here a few things I learned along the way.
