Acknowledgments

This book is dedicated to my father, mother and grandfather, who collectively taught
me about love, family and food.

Heartfelt gratitude towards everyone who has impacted my life in immeasurably
positive ways, but in particular those who helped bring this book to fruition:

Neil Salkind, for believing in me, giving me the first chance and continuing to
patiently mentor me.

My sisters for being lifelong recipe guinea pigs and constant laughter.

Giovanni for his relentless love, dedication and putting up with the constant
madness.

Rachane for his patient love and for the funny arguments over which way the knife
should sit.

Jenny for her years of friendship and sisterly support.

Johan and Hamilton for their profound friendship and sharing countless dinners
“around the world.”

Chef Glenn Chu of Indigo Hawaii, Chef Greg Cole of Celadon Napa and Letty
Alvarez of LA Sweets for their friendship and kind support.

The Living Greens team for opening their kitchen to me.

Olga and Noe Flores for their tireless support and genuine caring.

William Notte and Eric Oey at Tuttle for seeing my potential.

Bud Sperry, for his editing expertise, patient guidance and supportive friendship.

And many thanks to my generous allies—Zojirushi Rice Cookers and Lee Kum Kee.
