Experience

Kyle Phillips was a former writer for The Spruce, contributing articles and recipes for almost 15 years. Though he always enjoyed cooking and fine wines, Kyle's professional interest in gastronomy came through travel writing. He began stopping at wineries and restaurants wherever he happened to be—at first, to gather more information for travelers, and later to learn. Though Italy is one country, it might better be seen as a collection of tiny states, each with its own history, culture, and cuisine.

Education

Kyle Phillips had a Bachelor of Arts degree in geology. His education in Italian cooking and win came about informally as part of his travel writing.

Awards and Publications

His translation of Artusi, the classic Italian cookbook, was published as "The Art of Eating Well" by Random House in 1996.

He was the editor of the Italian Wine Review.
