| "The first edition of the Time Out Milan Guide is the essential guide to Italy’s fashion and financial capital and to the varied region that surrounds it. Researched by writers who live locally, it’s packed with incisive insights and practical information on the city, the lakes and the Lombardy region."
I wrote chapter: "The Food of Lombardy" for this edition and the introduction to Milan (and of the book) and the introduction to Lombardy for the soon-to-be-released second edition.
