I'm looking forward to your book for several reasons, because it's about vegetables, and because it's about your relationship with your father. Half British. half Belgian/French, my childhood was spent in SE Asia where my British father spent much of his career. After his retirement, he started an organic fruit farm in Thailand. Quite independently, and much earlier, I found my own way into food, writing about food as a sideline to science-writing, and eventually working with small-farm non-profits in the US. Though not a vegetarian -- I still like dairy and eggs - I eat mostly vegetables. Ties to family and childhood friends from Asia have also taken me to Australia, where I found an open-hearted and creative approach to food that's very appealing. There's no canonical Australian cuisine, so it's all in the making, and I look to you as as someone helping to shape a new way of eating for the world.
