The wondrously talented photographers Clarke Tolton and Davide Luciano, the whip-smart food stylist Claudia Ficca, and the eagle-eyed prop stylist Maeve Sheridan. Thank you for your active and inspired creativity in this collaboration. I’m so love-struck by your interpretation of these recipes I could cry.
Many thanks to Sofia Reino for recipe testing and insights.
My sisters, brothers, and mother. With everything I do, I feel your presence and encouragement surrounding me. Thank you for giving me your love and support with no bounds.
To my late father, Frank McKenna. Thanks for instilling a deep respect for desserts in me and always encouraging me to order the entire dessert menu saying, “You’re worth it!” I miss you terribly.
I’d be a very tired-looking shell of a girl without my dream of a beauty department, so thank you Dina Gregg and Sera Sloane for polishing me up the way I like!
Our loving customers. Truly, you feed me and my bakery as much as we feed you. Thank you for never wavering in your support and for showing your love, always.
My husband, Chris Cechin-De la Rosa. You take such sweet and patient care of me. We did it. Again. I love you.
