Milan’s Chinatown

Tailor-Made Travel Design & Customized Tours 📍Milan, Italy We are a boutique travel advisory and communications agency specializing in culinary and sustainable travel. After growing up in New York and graduating in art history from Oberlin College, I landed my dream job in the San Francisco office of the first publisher of visitor travel guides in America. After 6 years away working in travel and hospitality in the West, I moved to Brooklyn for a Masters in food anthropology at NYU. In 2012 I founded the Food Book Fair, a festival at the intersection of food writing and culture (celebrated in the NYTimes, The New Yorker and many more!). In 2015, I picked up and moved to Milan, Italy to produce the USA Pavilion at the food-themed World's Fair Expo Milano with the James Beard Foundation. I fell hard for Italy (and an Italian) and launched Risotto & Steel in 2017, determined to share untapped culinary Italy, helping visitors explore immersive, convivial and regional gastronomy. I have written about Italy for Eater, Prior and Italy Segreta. I live in Milan, work in Tuscany and left my heart in Liguria on a steep olive tree-covered hill overlooking the Cinque Terre sea.
