Claudia Roden was born in Cairo. Starting as a painter, she was drawn to the subject of food partly through a desire to preserve a lost heritage. She continued to write about food with a special interest in the social and historical background of cooking. Her books include A New Book of Middle Eastern Food, The Food of Italy (Chatto and Windus) The Book of Jewish Food (Penguin Books) and Arabesque (Penguin Books).
Judith Jones is senior editor and vice president at Alfred A. Knopf. She is the author of The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food and the coauthor with Evan Jones (her late husband) of The Book of Bread, Knead It, Punch It, Bake It! and The Book of NEW New England Cookery. She also collaborated with Angus Cameron on The L. L. Bean Game and Fish Cookbook, and has contributed to Vogue, Saveur, and Gourmet magazines. In 2006, she was awarded the James Beard Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award.
Jill Norman is a highly respected editor and author. Her culinary career began when she created the food and wine list for Penguin Books. As Elizabeth David's literary trustee she completed Mrs David's last work, Harvest of the Cold Months, and has compiled other volumes of her previously unpublished material. Jill's books are The New Penguin Cookery Book, available in paperback from Penguin; Herb & Spice, paperback available from Dorling Kindersley (now part of the Penguin Group) and Winter Food, hardback, published by Kyle Cathie Ltd.
After a successful career in law, Victoria Prever trained as a chef at Leith’s School of Food & Wine and worked as a private caterer. A member of the Guild of Food Writers, she writes about restaurants and food for the Ham&High and Jewish Chronicle and teaches cookery privately and at various schools, including Leith’s and The Cookery School.
