Contents Desserts Acknowledgments A s with my first FoodTrients cookbook, with much love and appreciation I dedicate this book to my parents, whose work in the fields of nutrition, medicine, and the culinary arts ignited my lifelong passion for cooking with both healthful and tasty ingredients; to my husband Rupert, whose endless support helps sustain me in life and in my kitchen as I test my recipes; and to Nancy OConnor, in whose loving memory I continue to find strength, comfort, and common-sense guidance.

Many exceptional people have contributed to the development and publication of this book. I cannot thank enough, from the bottom of my heart, my expert food preparation and test-kitchen team: Angie Abrantes Fischer, Jean Paul Dellosa, Osita Forral, and Genevieve Valarao; my dedicated book development team: writer, researcher, and photo stylist Angela Pettera, executive editor Barbara Weller, and cookbook editor Shelly Kale; and my inspirational design and production team: photographer Matthew Fried and book and cover designer Lynn Fleschutz. I also want to thank nutritionist and author Monica Reinagel, MS, LN, CNS, for her wonderful work reviewing, editing, and advising us on every recipe in this book. The following friends and colleagues each contributed one recipe to this cookbook, so I want to thank Dr. Lynn Blair, Carmencita Juco, and Robb Weller. Foreword I first became acquainted with Grace O and her work combining nutritionally beneficial foods with wonderfully tasty recipes through her cookbook The Age GRACEfully Cookbook: The Power of FoodTrients to Promote Health and Well-Being for a Joyful and Sustainable Life.

Both FoodTrients and the Golden Door have complementary passions and purposes regarding how to live a nutritious life. Both originally were rooted in Asian culture and now have expanded to include the best ingredients and influences from around the world. The Golden Doors philosophy is based on the belief that beauty begins from within. We pride ourselves on being one of the first spas to create cuisine that is both nutritious, artfully presented, and layered with flavors. We see a similar vision in Grace Os innovative fusion of international and American flavors, familiar and exotic ingredients, and specific nutrients that fight disease and the wear and tear of aging. Over the past three decades, my career has involved working with several different fashion and luxury brands and businessesall focused on defining and delivering beautiful products.

Now, as the General Manager of the premiere luxury spa in America, I am always looking for ways to enhance beauty from within first. In addition to our own extensive gardens, our food-sourcing relationships are with local farmers, fishermen, and ranchers. Our Executive Chef Greg Frey and his staff are delighted to explore Grace Os recipes for the Golden Door because she is focused on providing recipes that have also been vetted by a nationally recognized nutritionist, Monica Reinagel. The Golden Door also cares about what we put in our bodies. With the right care, each of us has the potential to age beautifully! The Golden Door has a long history as the spa where Hollywood stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Burt Lancaster would visit to shape up in-between film roles. In more recent times, we have welcomed famous visitors like Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart.

Everyone comes not only for the fitness and the various beauty treatments, but also for our delicious and rejuvenating spa cuisine. Recently, the Golden Door expanded its grounds to include five biodynamic culinary, floral, and herb gardens. Being conscious of what you eat is a critical first step to aging beautifully. Grace O understands how critical this first step is and we are therefore delighted to support FoodTrients at the Golden Door. With The Age Beautifully Cookbook, Grace O provides a tasty roadmap for promoting beautiful skin, lustrous hair, strong bones, free-flowing arteries, and a vibrant mind.
