Foodie credentials: Shauna has been a culinary herb enthusiast since 1987, and one of the first things she does after moving is to put in an herb garden. She was a cookbook reviewer for the New Pioneer Newsletter (Iowa City, Iowa) in the early 1980s. During her 20 years as a biomedical writer and editor, Shauna's specialties were diabetes, healthy eating, and weight loss. She was co-author (with Barbara Hansen) of The Commonsense Guide to Weight Loss for People with Diabetes (American Diabetes Association, 1998).
Diet: Vegetarian since 1986
Favorite foods: Chocolate, beer, and bread
Cooking philosophy: I cook with high-quality, fresh ingredients whenever possible and aim for meals as tasty as they are nutritious.

Jenny Blackford
Jenny Blackford's long-unfinished Ph.D was tentatively titled "The Tripartite Godhead in Indo-European Religion." She writes novels, stories, and poems of all sorts of genres (historical, fantasy, science fiction, spooky, even mainstream) for children, young adults, and grown-ups. There's almost always food of one sort or another, and often cats.
Professional memberships: Member of the Science Fiction Poetry Association, the NSW Writer's Centre, the Australian Society of Authors, the Hunter Writer's Centre, the Australian Horror Writers' Association, and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
Foodie credentials: People have been known to accuse me of being obsessed with food. I love to cook. I love to grow my own food. I love to experiment with old production methods—brining my own olives, or candying my own angelica.
Diet: Gluten-free since 1983, otherwise almost omnivorous
Favorite foods: chocolate, oysters, and almost anything with Béarnaise sauce
Cooking philosophy: Food should always be both delicious and nourishing. Even on the less-nourishing end of the spectrum, "a little of what you fancy does you good," as my grandfather used to say. There's no excuse for excellent foods like lentils or cabbage to be cooked in a way that makes them less than a pleasure to eat, common though that is.
