AcknowledgmentsThis book is dedicated
to the people of the British Virgin Islands,
who welcomed two strangers from far away
and made us feel right at home.
In the fifteen years we've lived in the British Virgin Islands dozens of people have befriended us, offered us wise advice, shared their picnics, fed our cats, helped us clean up after storms, sailed us to their secret harbors, let; taught us how to clean a conch, and generously passed along their knowledge of Caribbean ingredients and cooking techniques. In the process they also set a standard for friendship that would be hard to duplicate. They all know who they are and we give them our deepest thanks.
