Holly Garrad-Cole

Holly Garrad-Cole is a Milan-based web editor and food enthusiast, frequently found exploring Piedmont's gastronomic highlights.

Her fascination with food and wine has taken her all over the world, from selling fine wines in London to auditing the capital's largest sandwich factory, wading through organic paddy fields in Vercelli to milking cows in Israel, packing blueberries in Australia and harvesting cacao in Costa Rica. She has also studied artisanal food production in Europe, learning how to identify the best balsamic vinegars or the most floral coppa, and knows what really goes into making food delicious, from the ground up.

With a fine-tuned food knowledge, and a thirst for the stories behind it, her path naturally led her to an editorial role at Fine Dining Lovers headquarters, where she’s always on the lookout for the unsung heroes of the food world, plus the best lasagne.
