Cora Millet-Robinet
Cora Millet Robinet: Born in 1978 in Paris, Cora went in the 1920s with her husband to live in a chateau in Poitou. The couple were agricultural reformers, and grew mulberry trees and wove silk.

Tom Jaine was first an archivist, a restaurant owner, and then editor of the Good Food Guide and the Oxford Companion to Food. He was the publisher at Prospect Books from 1993 to 2014. He won the Glenfiddich Trophy as food writer in 2000, and the Derek Cooper Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014.
