Info autore
Fabrizia Lanza was born in Palermo into the renowned Tasca family of vignerons. In 1989, her mother, Anna Tasca Lanza established the Anna Tasca Lanza cooking school (now the Anna Tasca Lanza Center of Sicilian Food and Culture) on the family’s two-hundred year old agricultural estate, Case Vecchie. In 2006, Fabrizia returned to help her mother run the school and has since expanded its mission into the promotion and preservation of Sicilian food heritage. She has produced two documentaries on Sicilian food and culture, and is building a video library at the center to document historic Sicilian cooking techniques. Fabrizia is also the author of Olive: A Global History (2011) and The Food of Sicily: Recipes from a Sun-Drenched Culinary Crossroads (2023).
Photographer Guy Ambrosino and coauthor Kate Winslow—a husband-and-wife team—spent a year living and working at Case Vecchie. Guy is a professional documentary photographer. Kate is a food writer, food stylist, and former food editor at Gourmet magazine.
