About the Author

Martin Dorey is a writer and surfer. He lives on the North Devon coast with his wife and daughters and Pootle, a 28-year-old Volkswagen camper van.

When he s not fixing up Pootle for weekends away, mucking about with the kids, catching waves or pretending to work he goes fishing. He is very, very bad at it. His family understands. No one expects sea bass for tea any more.

Sarah Randell is Food Director of Sainsbury's Magazine and previously worked as food editor for thirteen of Delia Smith's cookery books.

Sarah is contributing recipes and expert guidance on the food content for THE CAMPER VAN COOKBOOK. Having recently learned to sail, she has had plenty of practice cooking in a small space on two rings.
