Appetito

Margaret Ross is a hospitality professional and <a href="https://www.foratravel.com/advisor/margaret-ross">travel designer</a> based in Milan. With experience spanning restaurant brands, culinary R&amp;D, and experience design, she explores the intersection of culture, cuisine, and interaction through writing and curating. Originally from California, she has a soft spot for farmers’ markets and underappreciated produce, and hopes that one day lupini beans and puntarelle will have their moments in the spotlight.
