ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Eleonora Baldwin is a food and lifestyle writer, journalist, prolific blogger, and Italian culinary/travel show host who lives in Rome and provides insider knowledge on the Eternal Citys dining scene, as well as private culinary adventures in Rome and city outskirts, for small groups. She is the author, editor, and photographer of popular blogs Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino (www.aglioolioepeperoncino.com), Rome City Guide for Kids (lolamamma.wordpress.com), and Roma Every Day (romatuttigg.blogspot.it). She has written, edited, and contributed to numerous travel and lifestyle publications, and her writing appears regularly in several online food columns.

Stephen Brewer has been savoring Italian pleasures ever since he sipped his first cappuccino while a student in Rome many, many years ago (togas had just gone out of fashion). He has written about Italy for many magazines and guidebooks and remains transported in equal measure by Bolognese cooking, Tuscan hillsides, the Bay of Naples, and the streets of Palermo.

Sasha Heseltine has circled the globe, feeding orphaned wallabies on South Australias Kangaroo Island, getting lost off-roading in the Sierra Nevada, diving with manta rays in the Maldives, and hot-air ballooning in eastern Poland. Back home in the U.K., she reviews hotels and restaurants for local media, and writes about her travels for international print and online publications.

Stephen Keeling was a financial journalist who lived and worked in Asia for almost a decade. He is the author of the first ever Rough Guide to Taiwan. He co-wrote the current editions of The Rough Guide to Mexico and The Rough Guide to Spain. He currently lives in New York City.

Megan McCaffrey-Guerrera s love affair with Italy began on her first visit at age 13. After a couple of decades and over a dozen trips to Italy, Megan made the move in 2003, making roots in the seaside village of Lerici on the Italian Riviera. She owns and operates, along with her Italian husband, Luigi, a boutique travel company specializing in customized trips all over Italy (www.bellavitaitalia.com). In addition to trip planning, Megan writes about Italy for several travel websites and travel guides, and in 2012 received her Travel Associate certification from the prestigious Travel Institute. Off-duty favorite activities include cooking up a storm to satisfy the household black hole (Luigi), learning to be a good mamma to baby Pietro, yoga, and Mediterranean swims.

Donald Strachan is a travel journalist who has written about Italy for publications worldwide, including National Geographic Traveler, The Guardian, Sunday Telegraph, CNN.com, and many others. He has also written several Italy guidebooks for Frommers, including Frommers EasyGuide to Rome, Florence, and Venice. For more, see www.donaldstrachan.com.
