About the Author

Liz Harfull is passionate about telling the stories of regional Australia, its people, communities, history, and traditions. She is an award-winning rural journalist and communicator. In 2006 Liz walked away from corporate life, as a director of a leading national public relations agency, to write books. Her leap of faith was rewarded two years later with The Blue Ribbon Cookbook. Capturing the stories and traditions of South Australian country shows and show cooks, it even took her to Paris where it won a Gourmand World Cookbook Award. Since then she has written Women of the Land and The Australian Blue Ribbon Cookbook, and Almost an Island: the Story of Robe.
