Dr Sista Outlaw is the kind of woman you want on your side in an argument, educated, informed and utterly bloody ruthless. However I would not advise playing Scrabulous with her if you wish to retain any sense of dignity or self respect.

She is the single parent to a particularly nice son, and they live in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. She is a superb dinner companion, and also makes the best Christmas Pudding you have ever had.

Her name comes from her revised relationship status, formally shifting from sister in law to Ampersand Duck to sista outlaw status, a role that sits more comfortably on her shoulders.

Ampersand Duck is a book lover, book maker, book designer, artist and letterpress printer. Her beautiful website is here and her personal blog here. She also writes for Sarsaparilla.

She is my dear friend and close neighbour - exactly the kind of person you want living around the corner. Although she is a very good cook, she sadly cannot hold her piss.

I’m very excited to welcome another contributor to Progressive Dinner Party, Kirsty. She blogs on life, the academy, food, and the long road of the commuter at Galaxy of Emptiness and is also a contributor to the pre-eminent Australian culture blog, Sarsaparilla. Kirsty is a television scholar, which is one of those careers that sounds utterly fascinating but is something of a challenge to explain it to your Aunty Ethel.

Her“Gastropod” series at Galaxy long ago revealed her as a talented and thoughtful cook, and I’m thrilled she’ll be doing some food-related writing here too. Her first piece, the interactive “Chopping Board” appears below.

Nabakov is a man who needs no introduction to many Australian bloggers. He does not keep his own blog, but is renowned as as one of the most stylish and witty commenters around. Able to excoriate the execrable like no other, he is also generous of spirit and charming in his ability to find the joy in life.

I have had the good fortune to meet Nabakov on a couple of occasions, and can confirm that he is able to drink me under the table (a rare talent when I’m in form) and wear a white trouser like few men can. His love of the good things in life extends to food and drink, and I’m very pleased to announce he’ll be educating us all about how a stylish man about town keeps himself fed and impresses the ladies. His first post, Sexy Pink Mashed Potatoes, follows. Unless you’re reading in a feedreader, in which case you’ve probably just finished reading it.
