INTERVIEW: BECKY DONALDSON
Cookery writer and tableware expert Skye (opposite)
Skye McAlpine’s world is one of sun-dappled Venetian afternoons, candlelit dinner parties and the timeless art of gathering around a thoughtfully set table.
Born in London but raised in Venice from the age of six, she grew up surrounded by the city’s rich traditions, where food is more than sustenance – it’s storytelling.
Now a cookery writer and founder of the tableware brand Tavola, she channels the essence of la dolce vita into everything she creates. Blending Venetian craftsmanship with British charm, her designs invite people to slow down, savour the moment and celebrate the beauty of everyday rituals.
