I must thank many people for assisting me in producing all of this, for ensuring its accuracy and authenticity and for being so generous with their time. Here are some of my personal heroes who have assisted with this endeavour:

Carla Capalbo, an award-winning food, wine and travel writer and photographer (including the prestigious Andre Simon and Veronelli awards) and Italian restaurant consultant based in Italy, has written three definitive food and wine guide books to Italy, Italian cookbooks and contributes to Decanter, Zester Daily and other publications. I would like to wholeheartedly thank Carla for her integrity, honesty, keen insight and guidance. Carla worked on the majority of the Italian regions and the equipment section. I feel very lucky to have worked with her and learned from her. To learn more about Carla, go to: http://carlacapalbo.com

Julia della Croce is one of America’s foremost experts on Italian cooking, author of 15 Italian cookbooks and Julia Child’s favourite Italian cookbook author. I would like to thank Julia for lending me her vast knowledge and experience on some of the Italian regions and for critiquing my work.

Nothing like help from a true professional. For more background on Richard please see:http://m.guardian.co.uk/profile/richardehrlich

Ciao Woo ,
I host “Festa Italiana,” a food radio show that will soon be airing on the new Spoony radio network on Dash satellite. Spoony is curated by Chef Patrick Mosure, a 30-year executive chef turned food service consultant. I would love to have you as a guest on my program to talk about your amazing creations – and everything Italian in-between. It’s a call-in format that can be recorded at your convenience given any time difference. Great opportunity for you to promote your blog and website at no cost and reach a foodie audience. I look forward to hearing from you.
Grazie,
