Besides cooking, some of my very favourite moments are spent with Rob, Sophie and our little Isla, who make up our family of four. Without them and the rest of my wonderful family and friends and their endless encouragement, this would all be aimless and empty.
Special thanks to Peter Bhasa, my most able assistant, who patiently, diligently and smilingly helps me every step of the way.
And to my recipe testers and tasters, scattered all around the world, who are all wonderful and amazing and a whole slew of good things in between… and who painstakingly get stuck into a final round of re-testing, tasting and note taking for me, and then send through vital feedback. The deal is that they have to be ruthlessly honest. This time around, they included:
Hilary Barker, Kate Barker, Lucy Bell, Kimbo Brown-Schirato, Debbie Buchner, Kate Chittenden, Wendy Conolly, Tracy Dane, Bronwyn Diering, Ashleigh Graham, Babs Graham, Robyn Graham, Judy Grondel, Teneale Holley, Sarah Hough, Jenna Hutchings, Catherine Lewis, Mandy Liddle, Megan Massingham, Nikki Mullins, Leanne O’Donoghue, Justine Passaportis, Tamryn Paterson, Luciana Popiol, Ruth Tanser, Yvonne Turner, Katherine Tyler, Claire van Tonder, Elsie Velacott, Melanie Watts, Helen Xavier.
