Food writer and broadcaster
Fred knows almost everything about Italy. Not just about food and wine, but about all the art forms, regions, cities and towns, and the country’s history. I once lived and went to Rocco Rizzo, the same baker who made the region’s most famous savory biscotti. Fred knows how many kinds of focaccia (11) there are, how many pestos (17), including a fava bean one, and how many forms off pasta including silk handkerchiefs ( mandilli di seta) and corzetti, stamped pastas made by hand in various designs.
