Liz Harfull is passionate about telling the stories of the extraordinary, everyday people who make up our communities, particularly in regional Australia. An award-winning rural journalist and communicator, she grew up on a small farm near Mount Gambier, discovering her love of both writing and cooking at a young age. In 2006 Liz walked away from corporate life to write books. Her leap of faith was rewarded two years later with The Blue Ribbon Cookbook, which became a surprise bestseller. Capturing the stories and traditions of South Australian country shows and show cooks, it even took her to Paris as a finalist and eventual runner-up for the most hotly contested category of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. Since then Liz has written ten books, including Tried Tested and True, which was listed among the 'Best in the World' in the 2019 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards; the bestsellers Women of the Land and The Australian Blue Ribbon Cookbook; and The Women Who Changed Country Australia, a centenary history of the Country Women's Association in New South Wales, where the iconic women's movement started. Today Liz lives in the Adelaide Hills, occasionally finding time to bake scones and make jam while juggling a busy writing career and volunteer work as a community historian.
