Andrew Chignell, author of On Just Eating, lives in Ithaca, NY and teaches philosophy at Cornell. He grew up in the midwest among meat-and-potato evangelicals, but has since become an episcopalian and also started to wonder about that meat part. His blog is devoted to ethical and economic issues surrounding food and faith, and also contains the occasional note about local restaurants in the Ithaca area.

Susan Dixon learned to garden from her grandmother and learned to stretch a dollar from her mother. She is a Southern Ex-Pat living in Ithaca, NY where she came to complete her Ph.D. at Cornell in medieval art history and forgot to leave. She is an almost-lifelong Episcopalian, a website designer, and a writer. Her favorite sentence, which causes her friends to run for cover, is “I have an idea.” Her blog, Greenblading, sees creation, faith, and justice as aspects of hospitality.

Elizabeth Shedd is author of Energy for Justice. She will write a bio any minute now.

Leigh and Carrie, who write To Taste, are a married couple in Washington, D.C. Leigh grew up with some chickens and old fruit trees on what was once his grandparents’ thriving farm; he hasn’t yet sorted that out, but he has gotten used to writing and thinking about the past. Carrie has lived in a wide variety of places (but is rumored to be a native of Vegetaria). She has her own ice cream maker and occasionally experiments with dairy-free frozen treats. Their interests include collecting cookbooks and thinking about food, even though they nearly always cook and eat the same things.
