Speaker 2025

Alessandro Giannatempo

Alessandro Giannatempo is an Italian-born, recipe developer based in London. His food is often rooted in memory and driven by curiosity. Growing up in Emilia Romagna with family ties stretching from Piedmont to Sardinia, he learned early on that food was a bridge to people and places. He’s the kind of chef who scouts for reasons to celebrate, whether it’s a dog’s birthday or a quiet Tuesday, always ready to turn a moment into a meal. His approach to food is bold, warm, and full of heart. Whether dancing to Mina in the kitchen or crafting a Challah cone that lands in the New York Times, he cooks to connect, to remember, and to bring joy to the table.
