Ciao Kyle

October 23, 2013 by Divina Cucina

sorry for bad news twice in a row—

My friend Kyle Phillips just passed away on Monday.

Kyle was a food and wine writer and a gentle soul

He left us his translation of Artusi’s ” The Art of Eating Well” one of Italy’s treasures of cooking.

He also maintained two sites, one on food – ITALIAN FOOD for about.com
and a wine blog Italian Wine Review

and another food blog- Cosa Bolle in Pentola

He has left us a fabulous legacy—

    This is just such a shame and a terrible loss to his family, friends and the food community. Although I never met him personally. he did, on several occasions, write kind and supportive words about my work. May I add, Judy, that I am certain the reason he ever even saw my work is because you have been generous enough to share it. I am so sorry you lost a friend. Remember the good times, and may he rest in peace.

Originally from California; Tuscany has been my home since 1984. I found the city of Florence to hold all my passions, food, wine, art all in one place. When I am not in Tuscany, I am often found in Sicily, my other favorite place to be. Always searching for recipes to share and exploring for the guides I write to my favorite cities for food and wine.
