Tbpnk YOU... T his SourceBook would not have been possible without the efforts of Art Director Debbie Schultz and Listings Editor Bobbi Charnas, who both went way beyond the call of duty. Special thanks also go to Copy Editor Gina Horwitz, troubleshooter Operations Director David Neill, JN staff photographer Krista Husa, Information Technology Director Greg Day and food writer Annabel Cohen, who tested recipes and talked to readers who submitted recipes. Thanks, too, for extra help from Michelle Sheridan, Anne Lada and Alex Lumelsky of the Creative Services Department, and to the entire Sales Department. And, finally, much appreciation for priceless family recipes from JN readers Judge Stephen Cooper, Shari Finsilver, Shira Klein, Dorie Shwedel, Muriel Silverstein and Bernice Tomarin.
