shoulders of Pamela Coate, for research on the Spanish Mediterranean coast;
Dr Alfred Kühn and again Mr Anthony Bonner for inquiries in Mallorca;
Mme Jean Ricard and Mme Totte Feissel for practical help in Provence;
Signora Jeanne Caròla for advice on Neapolitan and other Italian recipes;
Signor Mario Forcellini of Venice; Signora Elena Spagnol of Milan and Lerici;
Mrs Delia Lennie of Bari; Mrs Ilse Maijcen and Mrs Marjanović-Radica of
Split; Mrs Dimitri Gófas of Athens; Mrs Selma Göksel in Turkey; Mrs Helen
Essely in Beirut; and my original editor, Jillian Norman, for helpful culinary
research in Menorca and in her own kitchen.
Many of my former colleagues in the Diplomatic Service, in posts around
the Mediterranean, and their wives, have put me in touch with local experts or
obtained information for me. I listed many of them in the Acknowledgements
in the first edition of this book. The list has since expanded to the point at
which I must be content with a general expression of thanks to them all. The
same applies to my former colleagues at NATO headquarters in Brussels, a
surprisingly good location for the discussion of Mediterranean cookery.
In working on the fish and recipes of the Black Sea for inclusion in this new
edition I have received much help from Professor Theodore S. Rass in
Moscow, from the numerous authorities concerned with fisheries and food in
Bulgaria, from Maria Johnson and from Molli and John Cloake.
Beryl Richards kindly volunteered to prepare the typescript of the original
book; and Sally Bicknell provided its meticulous index. In thanking them
again I must add thanks to all who have helped with similar services for the
new edition, and to Cressida Pemberton-Pigott for photographing many of
the new illustrations. Acknowledgements for the illustrations themselves will
be found on page 23.
To all those named above, to all the contributors identified in the recipes
and for all the help implied in the bibliography, I express my sincere gratitude.
