About the Author: Born and bred in Italy, Giuseppe Dell'Anno moved to the UK with the plan to stay only for six months. Twenty years, one PhD, one happy marriage, three UK-born sons, and one Great British Baking Show triumph later, Giuseppe has officially crowned himself a “Britalian”. A materials engineer and researcher by trade, Giuseppe grew up in a family of passionate bakers, where food was the prime topic of conversation. He has inherited from his dad, a professional chef, the love for everything cooked or baked. Following the global success of Bake Off, Giuseppe quit his engineering job and focused his efforts entirely on his ambition to share his family's cooking knowledge far and wide. He published his debut book, Giuseppe’s Italian Bakes, in October 2022.
