About the Author
Ashleigh Butler
Ash and her partner, Jared Campbell (co-founder of Vanlife Diairies), have spent a decade travelling across Australia and the US in a campervan. During that time, Ash drew on her love of cooking, experimentation, and work as a cook in small cafes and, often, caterer to giant vanlife gatherings to become an expert on preparing great food in small spaces, often with little more than a two-burner gas stove, a good knife, a mortar and pestle and pantry basics.
About the Photographers
While Ash captured the majority of the photos in The Small Kitchen Cook, the following photographers also contributed half a dozen (or more) pics each to the book. Thanks guys!
