About the Author:
Louise Pickford is a Sydney-based food writer. She contributes to several food magazines and is the author of a number of cookbooks, including "Al Fresco" and "Fast and Fresh" (both Ryland Peters & Small).

Barbara Segall is a horticulturist and writer whose work appears in "Country Living", "BBC Gardeners' World" and other magazines.

Caroline Arber began a career in photography after training as a painter. She photographs the things she enjoys--flowers, gardens, interiors, children, and food. Her work appears in many magazines including Homes & Gardens, Country Living and Red. For Ryland Peters & Small she has taken photographs for A Handful of Herbs and The Wedding Planner.

William Lingwood is one of Britain's best-known names in food photography. But he didn't start that way. As an oil-worker in the Middle East, he learned to cook from the books of Elizabeth David and Jane Grigson, and was inspired by the photography of Robert Fresom and Tessa Treagar. In 1990, he hung up his desert boots and picked up a camera, and his work now appears in magazines, books, and advertising campaigns. He photographed "Juices and Tonics" for Ryland Peters & Small.
