MUSE, EAST HOTEL, 69 CANBERRA AVE, KINGSTON ACT 2604 | 24 Feb 2019 03:00 PM
Sometime in the 1950s, Emiko’s nonno-in-law began the tradition of ringing in the new year with tortellini al sugo. He served it along with spumante and a round of tombola, and sparked a trend; up until the 1970s, you could find tortellini at midnight on New Year's Eve in the bars around the Tuscan town of Fucecchio.

Emiko Davies was born in Australia to a Japanese mother and a diplomat Australian father and has spent most of her life living abroad – her adolescence was spent in China, she attended university in the United States and now, for more than a decade, she has called Italy home. Emiko is the author of three cookbooks: the most recent is Tortellini at Midnight. Florentine and Acquacotta each focus on the traditional, regional dishes of beloved Tuscan places: Florence and the Maremma, respectively. Emiko continues to write about food and travel within Italy on her blog, as well as for popular New York–based website Food52, and for publications such as Gourmet Traveller and Conde Nast Traveller. She lives in Florence with her husband, Marco, and their two young daughters.
Tessa Kiros was born in London to Finnish and Greek-Cypriot parents.

Tessa’s ten cookbooks, including Falling Cloudberries, Venezia and Limoncello and Linen Water, reflect her love of food, travel, culture and people.
