About the Author
Antonio Alderuccio is an Italian chef who moved to the UK 10 years ago, and began to explore vegan and gluten-free options for a diabetic friend, who found it difficult to eat out.
After testing homemade pizza recipes on friends, he even developed a gluten-free pasta (mamma mia!) in Italy! The first to ever win an award!
The Times has called Antonio ‘the Italian chef who is changing the rules’.
Here’s a chef who loves his job:
The happiness I feel in doing what I love is unparalleled. I fuels my spirit, ignites my creativity, and empowers me to surpass boundaries I never thought possible.
With each step I take, I am reminded that I am living my purpose, and that is a gift I cherish every single day. Antonio
