A materials engineer and researcher by trade and also the much loved winner of the Great British Bake Off in 2021.

Born and bred in Italy, Giuseppe moved to the UK in his early 20s with the plan to stay only for six months while perfecting the language… Twenty years, one PhD, one happy marriage and three UK-born sons down the line, Giuseppe has elected England as his adoptive homeland and officially crowned himself a “Britalian".

A materials engineer and researcher by trade, Giuseppe grew up in a family of passionate bakers, where food was the prime topic of conversation. He has inherited from his dad, a professional chef, the love for everything cooked or baked. Winning the Great British Bake Off in 2021 reinforced his mantra that simplicity, attention to detail and good quality ingredients are key to delicious food, and sparked off his ambition to share his family gastronomic knowledge far and wide.

He lives in Bristol and is still nurturing his passion for good food, design and architecture, and excitedly looking forward to combine more of the myriad of regional nuances in his Italian heritage with the British culinary register.

His new book 'Giuseppe's Italian Bakes: 60 Classic Cakes, Desserts and Savoury Bakes' is out 13.10.22
