Discovering his passion for exploring the world and sampling its foods as a teenager, travel/food writer and photographer Edward Placidi has rambled to the far corners of the planet on solo, independent adventures, on assignments for publications, and sojourns and escapes with family and friends ‒ leaving behind footprints in 124 countries (so far). His has penned articles and shot photographs for numerous newspapers, magazines and websites, served on staff with several magazines, and co-founded Placidi & Gerlich Communications (P&G), a boutique PR and marketing agency specializing in travel and hospitality. When not traveling, he is whipping up delicious dishes inspired by his Tuscan grandmother who taught him to cook, with as many ingredients as possible coming from his large vegetable and herb garden at his home in Los Angeles.
