Luca Cesari is a food historian based in Italy. He writes for various magazines, including Gambero Rosso, and writes the column "Indovina chi sviene a cent” in Il Sole 24 Ore. As an inappetent child in 1970s Bologna, he was lovingly fed with tagliatelle alla bolognese and tortellini by his grandmother. Perhaps for this reason, Cesari is interested in the history of gastronomy, in particular the birth of the most famous and representative dishes of the Italian tradition. This is his first book.
