We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Canada Council for the Arts, the British Columbia Arts Council, the Province of British Columbia through the Book Publishing Tax Credit, and the Government of Canada through the Canada Book Fund for our publishing activities.

First, we are thankful to readers of the first Book of Kale for their enthusiasm and appetite for even more kale. We are also grateful to the Taste Canada Food Writing Awards judges for their support of the first book. Big superfood bouquets to everyone at Harbour Publishing and Douglas & McIntyre for their tremendous belief in this book. In particular, kale kudos and bombastic bee kisses to Anna Comfort OKeeffe for her enthusiasm, kale-chip acumen and talent in the kitchen that involved cooking up so many recipes for the photo shoots. Huge thanks to Annie Boyar, our marketing wizard, for her many miles walked on the k ale trail.

Much appreciation to editors Sarah Weber and Lucy Kenward for such mindful, conscientious consideration of our manuscript. To our expert indexer Iva Cheung, big thanks, and the same to editorial assistants Megan Fergusen and Brianna C erkiewicz.

We take great delight in the look of this book and are indebted to Five Seventeen, uber-talented designer, for his cover and text design, as well as to Diane Robertson for adeptly typesetting this volume and making all the re cipes fit.

A very large acknowledgement goes to the mega-gifted Christina Symons of everydayeden.com for her magical food and garden photography taken in the studio at her very own Eden.

Once again, we thank Dr. Dean Adam Kopsell, King of Kale of the academic world, for his review of our nutritional information and for assisting with the answers to our many queries.

On a more personal note, Sharon would like to thank the following friends and family: Karen Luke for her multi-level support, including regularly asking me if I need anything from the store; Barbara Coward for walks, singing, recipes, birdwatching, and her unwavering commitment bordering on mania for growing food in the city; Iain and Heather for feeding me protein and for loving Pocky, letting her sit on chairs when their own dogs are on the floor. And, Deborah David of Courtenay for her unflagging long-distance enthusiasm. Bouquets to Roger for pruning my fig tree and helping me stay rooted; and to my sons, Jesse and Tedthank you for being. Words cannot describe my gratitude to Carol Pope, co-writer an d editor.

And from Carol: Kale kisses to my super-supportive partner in the garden, kitchen and in life, Cliff Rowlands, who has grown kale, cooked kale and eaten kalealong with the other superfoods in this bookalongside me all these years, sharing inspiration and insight on a day-by-day basis, much of which finds itself in this volume. Also to Chris, Katherine and Elizabeth for their good-natured kale forbearance, for offering kale-recipe ideas and encouragement, and for helping in the garden just to hang around with their mom, even when it involved shovelling a mountain of llama manure on Mothers Day. Gratitude and love to Irene and Pat Pope, for their ongoing support and endurance of many a kale tale from their daughter. And, of course, hugs and love to my dear friend and kale comrade, Shar on Hanna.

Lastly, gardening and cooking are generally acts of generosity: we have received a bounty of ideas, recipes and inspiration from the gardens and kitchens of so manymost of whom are named in the forthcoming pages. To all of you who have so kindly contributed to this book, thank youyou have helped to make this a joyful journey, and for that we are deeply grateful.
