Based in Milan, Italy.
Tomás moved from Porto to cook the line at a Brera trattoria before turning to writing about how Milan actually feeds itself. He tracks risotto giallo and mondeghili across old-guard osterie and the stalls of Mercato Comunale Wagner, and can tell you which pasticceria pulls the better cornetto at 7am.
