About the Author
Louise Pickford had a successful career in London as a food writer and stylist before moving to Australia. She continues to work for both international and Australian publications, and is the author of more than 20 cookbooks, including the Ryland Peters and Small bestsellers Brunch and Barbecue.
Greg Burliuk of Ontario's Kingston Whig-Standard tried making several of the recipes.
Next up from the book's dairy-free section was a banana and granola soy smoothie with soy milk and soy yogurt.
I found the taste of the soy milk refreshing, but the soy yogurt runny with no body to it at all. However, in concert with the bananas, a tiny bit of granola and a little cinnamon, it was a great breakfast smoothie, although next time I'll crunch up some ice to go with it.
Yes, that means the book is available in Canada as well. Maybe even in Australia. Smoothies for everybody!
