About Us

Knowfood was formed in the hot summer of 2007 to offer a unique reference point for information on the most important western food, drink, traditions and others. Our concern is that there was no clear resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.

Founder of Knowfood is Chef Lino Montaruli, an Italian chef living in China from 1995. After many years of experience around China decide to create something that bring more then basic knowledge but also to who would like to learn more about western food, starting from Mediterranean delicacies and some Healthy high-end gourmet food.

This website offers a unique reference point for information on the most important western food, drink, traditions and others. Chef Lino concern there wasn’t clear resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.

A special Thanks go to: Xu Jingfen, Lawrence Sheed, Claire Wang, Montaruli Pasquale {cousin}, Ambrogio Ferraro，Rueben Marley, Claudia Chen and my wife Diana Xue.
