About Eileen Dunne Crescenzi

Italian cuisine is a cultural and social art form that has developed over hundreds of years revered by most and misrepresented by many. In this book I have portrayed my life in Italy through the culture of food. Hailing from Dublin Eileen Dunne Crescenzi began her love affair with Italian food and culture when she moved to Rome in the 1970s aged 17 to study painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti. During that time she met and married her Italian husband Stefano Crescenzi and learned to cook with his formidable grandmother Nonna Valentina. She then spent a year at Gambero Rosso to formalise her training. Eileen and Stefanos combined love of Italian food and wine brought them back to Dublin where they opened a number of restaurants and cafés. Today Eileen and Stefano own and run several award-winning establishments in Dublin including Dunne & Crescenzi Bar Italia and L'Officina. Eileen is also the author of the acclaimed cookbook Dunne & Crescenzi: The Menu.
