About the Author
Janice Sutton is an internationally award-winning publisher and author based in Tasmania who specializes in food books. She is also an ex-pat Brit, former BBC trained national radio researcher and producer, passionate home cook, food stylist and amateur photographer. In addition to writing, editing, producing and co-designing Winter Wild, Janice styled, shot and edited more than a third of the images for her new book. The main recipe photographer however, is the sublimely talented Queen of Light, former business analyst, Dearna Bond. Janice hails from the UK and was born in Scotland, but was mostly raised in the beautiful county of Somerset, the spiritual home of cider making and a county that is steeped in ancient folk lore, Pagan ritual and ceremony. Janices book projects thus far, have been invariably voluptuous and bold, but most importantly (for Janice) imbued with the stories, heart and soul of the communities that inspired them. The coronavirus pandemic de-railed the book for a time, and during the production of the book, Janice lost her mum to Covid-19 who lives in the UK. And Winter Wild Is dedicated to her feisty and fabulous Scottish mother, who imbued Janice with a passion for life and cooking.
