If I could advise my younger self, I would say: “Learn how to cook” (for real). It turns out olive oil is all you need, and even not much of that. I discovered that most of my use of oil was simply covering for my lack of ability.

It’s instructive to remember that two hundred years ago, palm oil/vegetable oil/canola oil/avocado oil/almond oil/etc didn’t exist, nonstick pans didn’t exist, and somehow people could still cook amazing food.

Canola is made from rapeseed, which is toxic before processing. (And mostly not toxic after processing. ) The oil it produces used to be used only for greasing engine parts.
