We set out to share our love and enjoyment of kale, and have had tremendous fun producing this book for you. Gratitude, praise, and recognition to the following people that have been part of our journey:
Karen Rinaldi and Julie Will and their team at HarperWave provided the perfect polish to take our love of kale and create the beautiful book you hold.
A big thanks to Uli Iserloh and his team at Bright Launch, who expertly managed production of this project initially as an e-book. As a digital marketing mastermind, Uli was also responsible for the launch of our website and social media efforts.
Many thanks to Joy Tutela and the David Black Agency for their guidance on this project and consistent encouragement and support. Joy has an incredibly sharp eye, wit, and business savvy. She has guided us through the world of publishing with a kind and steady hand. Words cannot express our gratitude.
We are grateful for the long hours, dedication, and great eye that Ian McSpadden brought to the set shooting the photographs and to Mutual Endeavours Farm for hosting. Thanks Jerry and Catherine, who were our lifeline during shoot and our favorite taste testers.
Finally, a heartfelt thanks to the countless readers of our previous books, Secrets of a Skinny Chef and The Happiness Diet, as well as the readers on our Recipe for Happiness and Skinny Chef blogs—sharing their precious insights, comments, feedback, and stories to enrich the community of healthy eaters and cooks.
At the core of it, food should be celebrated, appreciated, and shared every day with friends and family, and we are excited to share this book and its fifty delicious, nutritious dishes with you.
