Tobie Puttock
Welcome to Utobia. I will be uploading clips regularly featuring great recipes, my friends and my cats.
My love affair with Italian food began when I was working in Melbourne's acclaimed Caffe e Cucina. The passion flourished as I cheffed my way across Europe, working eighteen-hour days in Italian-speaking kitchens, taking time out for snowboarding excursions and the odd very long lunch in a mountainside trattoria. In London, I worked at the River Cafe, widely regarded as that city's best Italian restaurant, alongside a bevy of high-profile chefs, including Jamie Oliver. I moved back to Melbourne, once again to an Italian kitchen, this time a place called Termini.
I am the author of Daily Italian, Cook Like An Italian and Italian Local.
