Acknowledgments

I admit that when I wrote the first edition of The Healing Powers of Olive Oil , I was clueless about olive oil and its amazing health merits and other precious cooking oilsall typesso it was a foreign topic for me. Special thanks to passionate olive oil masters, including the North American Olive Oil Association, Nick Sciabica & Sons, The Olive Press, medical doctors, and researchers who inspired me, a health author, and my taste buds to revisit Olive Oil Land.

The tide is changing in the twenty-first century when it comes to using healing oils. I confess I wasnt always an olive oil lover. During research of the original book, I didnt know porcini oil from citrus olive oil, or that Spain was and still is the largest olive oil producer in the world. But I was an eager student. And, in the new edition, gratitude goes, too, to the companies who shared their products and worldly knowledge of both olive oil (all types) and other healing oils making headway in the health world.

This second time around, I went on a new expedition into the wide world of olive oils (cooking and baking with them) and learned how to use different cooking oils, too, for heart health, longevity, home cures, and beauty aids. I braved the uncharted land and tried myriad cooking oilsnot just extra virgin olive oil.

Also, I recall receiving e-mails from a bold fanchallenging me about fat facts. She agreed that while olive oil is healthy, I should give more credit to saturated fat (including butter and cheese). New research has shown me that the un-fats like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats arent the only ones that are good for us. I give thanks to my dear reader who was spot-on and gave me incentive to dig deeper to find the truth in the ever changing world of food and health. So to prepare this second edition, I went back to the drawing board. I discovered during my journey that indulging in other oils like coconut oil and macadamia oil (which do contain saturated fat) and even decadent butter boasts health perks. And its time to give appreciation to these ignored newbies and comeback oldies, too.

Also, since Im fessing up, the fact is I was sneaking foods like butter in my diet, but I didnt tell my devout olive oil contacts and friends. But my instincts told me that by pairing a bit of the forbidden fat with olive oils it made my cookies, cakes, and entres taste better and felt good inside and outside my body. And thats when I pushed my olive oils over on my pantry shelves and made room for other healing oils (including nut and tropical)and Im glad I did it.

These days, as a devout Food Network junkie (Americas television food channel) and accidental health-nut foodie, I thank chefs, including Emeril Lagasse, who use both olive oil and other cooking oils and butter (all kinds). For years now, Ive been using both the oil and fat together, and now I no longer feel guilty about combining olive oil and butter to enjoy my dishes more.

Finally, I have been blessed with an enthusiastic editor who asked me to go back and revise and update my second Healing Powers series book on olive oil. In an olive seed, once again, I got to explore the olive oil and cooking oils world from the comfort of my cabin in the California Sierrathrough changing seasons. The best part is, as a baby boomer (a person born between 1946 and 1964), I now have a new, improved relationship with healing oils. I sense this book, like the first one, was meant to get a makeover by me for you. A toast to olive oiland other healing oilsis as good as it gets.
