Hey folks, on today’s episode of Scoop we welcome Francesco Dibenedetto, the executive chef at Brooklands by Claude Bosi. Playing with pots and pans as toys as a baby, Francesco’s perspective of the culinary world is much greater than the plate itself. We talk about his family history on farms in Italy and his dedication to producers and growers especially in the UK and Italy utilising regenerative farming techniques. Francesco began working with Claude Bosi way back at Hibiscus in London.
I began recording this episode almost as soon as we sat down and I enjoyed the conversation so much that I haven’t edited anything at all.
I’m Stella and I’m gonna take you out for dinner.
A big thank you to Francesco for making time for me on his day off. Follow the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and me on Instagram @stellagent for the latest updates.
