THE AUTHORS

PAM BRANDON is managing editor of Edible Orlando magazine and a food columnist for OrlandoSentinel.com and the Palm Beach Post. She has written twelve cookbooks, including Field to Feast: Recipes Celebrating Florida Farmers, Chefs, and Artisans and the 2014 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival Cookbook. Her favorite Florida seafood, hands down, is wild-caught, crispy fried shrimp with a splash of lemon.

KATIE FARMAND, a proud Florida native, is an Orlando-based food writer, recipe developer, and food stylist. She is the editor of Edible Orlando magazine. She grew up deep-sea fishing with her grandparents and, to this day, a sandwich made with fried freshly caught grouper is her definition of perfection. This is her second cookbook.

HEATHER McPHERSON is the food editor and restaurant critic for the Orlando Sentinel and OrlandoSentinel.com. She is a past president of the Association of Food Journalists and is author of two cookbooks, coauthor of five cookbooks, and editor of three others. Her latest work is Field to Feast: Recipes Celebrating Florida Farmers, Chefs, and Artisans with Pam Brandon and Katie Farmand. She loves all Florida seafood, but grouper with a lemony caper-dill sauce is her favorite.

DIANA ZALUCKY is a Los Angeles-based photographer/director hailing from St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. She spent 10 years in Florida, where food photography became a passion. Diana loves narrating on set, playing in the mountains or ocean and finding the good life wherever she goes.
