It feels like just yesterday the email from Ten Speed landed in our inbox, a note inquiring if we’d be interested in writing a book about one of our favorite subjects, olive oil. It was 2020 and we were working through the tail end of the Holiday season and Oprah’s Favorite Things.
Exhausted and ready to take a break during that sweet spot between Christmas and New Year, Giuseppe and I peered at each other over our laptops. Eyebrows shooting up, and a gust of fresh energy. Suddenly we weren’t quite so tired anymore.
And thus began a 3-year journey of writing, researching, recipe testing, and patiently waiting for The Olive Oil Enthusiast to fully come to life.
First came the months of searching for the right literary agent, someone who would fully support us and our creative visions. Then we met our editor and truly got to work writing and recipe testing. Finally came the months of peer reviews and edits, which were extensive, and rightly so…
The Olive Oil Enthusiast is the first book dedicated to the subject of olive oil released by a major publisher in well over a decade (!!!). So much has changed in both the industry and the public’s perception of the product (for better and worse). Therefore, we knew we had one chance to get it right, no pressure.
Although small, The Olive Oil Enthusiast is packed with easily digestible information about your favorite cook fat. We break down terms and myths about the product as well as dive into the origins of the olive tree.
We look at different cultivars and flavor profiles and how to assess pairings. There’s even a chapter dedicated to all of the ways you can incorporate olive oil into your everyday beauty routine for glowing skin!!
Lastly, there are 20 recipes featuring extra virgin olive oil as well as easy-to-follow diagrams and gorgeous illustrations by Maria Jesus Contreras.
So that just leaves one question, are you an Olive Oil Enthusiast? Grab your copy via the link below and don’t forget to shop the SALE!!!
Thank you so much for being a subscriber, until next time.
