About Edwin Garrubbo
La bella Italia and its food have always been my passion, my sanctuary, and my joy. I feel lucky to have grown up in a family obsessed with food. My grandmothers taught me to cook, but more importantly, they showed me that food is the most basic way to spread love.
I spend a lot of time thinking about pasta, cooking it, and sharing it. That is why I wrote Sunday Pasta, Garrubbo Guide, and the Garrubbo Handbook. Different books, same table. So join me at the table. I’ll show you around, and I want to hear what you cooked, and what you opened. Buon appetito e buon viaggio!
