Acknowledgments

This book was a joy to work on not only because I got to surround my family and friends with the homespun comforts of soup and bread but also because I got to work with home cooks and pros who love the combo as much as I do. A heaping ladleful of thanks goes out to all of the soup lovers and home bakers who contributed to this book: Rebecca Gagnon, Jacki Thau, Mora Chatarand, Cathie Schutz, Don Lesser, Susan Gilbertson, Kathleen Bauer, and Seamus Foran. I also would like to raise my soupspoon in gratitude to my husband, Gregor Torrence, for his support and expert tasting and feedback.

Thanks also to my agent, Je

y Ferrari-Adler, for her help and encouragement; Amy Treadwell for shepherding this book to fruition; and Dea

e Katz for her tireless guidance, good humor, and appreciation of Nigel Tufnel. Heaps of gratitude to the rest of the Chronicle Books team, food stylist Ashley Marti, and photographer Dina Avila for helping me put this all down on paper and making it look so very pretty.
