Acknowledgments

S
O MANY PEOPLE
are involved in getting a book ready. It really is a team effort even though only one name goes on the front cover. Working in chronological order (to be fair and to keep things logical) I would like to thank . . .

Matthew Lore, Publisher, The Experiment, New York, for believing in me enough to trust me with book number two. (And number three perhaps . . .)

My lovely and loving family for eating nothing but meals cooked in the slow cooker for months and months. At least I did the washing up.

Karen Jackson and Karen Agabob for the loan of slow cookers so I didn’t have to buy extras. These lovely ladies also deserve a further mention (along with Nancy Macdonald and Palo Koorjee) for feeding themselves and their families on the products of my testing. They ate what they were given—and liked it!

My testers: my online international team of committed, helpful, feedback-loaded, variation-suggesting, brainstorming testers. You guys really make the whole testing process wonderful! Following the testers’ names are their favorite recipes, if they named one (or more). You can use this list as a starting point when choosing what to make.
