'...This study of Australian women food writers, drawing examples from a wide range of food writing from colonial journals to current publications, seeks to begin to map the field in Australia. It indicates the range of fiction and nonfiction writing that can be classed as 'food writing' and includes a number of biographical career studies to suggest the range of career, professional and other opportunities available to contemporary food writers.' As well as the authors listed, Brien also includes the food writing career of chef Stephanie Alexander, biographical, comic and food-based travel writing and writers, and food writing in magazines and periodicals.
