About The Blog

Welcome to the blog! I will be travelling across Europe this summer, so follow for some tasty, bite-sized thoughts on the paintings, sculptures, poetry, churches, marriage chests (cassone oolala) and the saucy things that I manage to find on the road (including food, maybe). Here you will find broken criticism closely followed by broken Italian: come diventare chef - cucina più cucina sempre meglio

​

This Grand Mangiare will take me from the museums of Cambridge and London to Paris, Annecy, and then Italia! The plan is to parade across the peninsula like a quattrocento condottiere or a deranged, starving backpacker. 

​

The purpose of the trip is also to buy some paintings for a commercial exhibition back in London in Spring 2022! The venue, team, and ambition are all in place. The old master oil paintings (eighteenth/nineteenth century) that I find will be exhibited alongside the contemporary art of my friends, creating a space where the old is in dynamic conversation with the new. Follow for updates and more information on the upcoming exhibition! 

​

What could go wrong? (a lot). I'm very excited to go gorge myself on some cultural mangiare in Italy. Follow for a fun time. Lots of love. Buon appetito
