Welcome
We have a veritable feast for you this issue, including our continued countdown to the PAPA Industry Awards on November 7 at the Royal Lancaster, London.
There’s a special feature on our expert team of judges – and how the role has evolved over the years. Pizza schools are a growing sector, whether it’s individuals seeking to hone their own talent or those with previous experience expanding their skillset. We went behind the scenes with the Eurostar Commodities Pizza Academy, The School of Artisan Food, Rudy’s Academy and Sonata Pizza School.
Italian bread is such a versatile ingredient, as chef extraordinaire Gio Achenza and Pan’Artisan Ltd can testify. There are also exclusive previews of Casual Dining Show and The Italian Show. Enjoy!
