Tasting Rome
IACP Award Winner for Best International Cookbook 2017
In Stores Now! | Foreword by Mario Batali
I am extremely excited to devour the erudite musings of my favorite
Roman when Katie Parla releases her book on the Eternal City’s infinite
gastronomic history. This highly anticipated tome will be as much
about Nero and Caesar as it will be about the latest trend in Carbonara
“ology” and pizza trends and I’m hungry just thinking about it.
“Tasting Rome captures the beauty of artisan food! The combination of recipes and photographs makes me feel as if I am back in Rome.”
“Tasting Rome is the definitive vehicle for viewing Roman culture through its food.”
“Tasting Rome is as much a comprehensive study as it is a love affair with one of my favorite cities in the world.”
“I plan to keep learning from Tasting Rome on repeated readings for years to come. This book is a gem.”
“Reading Tasting Rome is like getting a private tour of the city with two of the most-in-the-know Roman transplants. The recipes are refreshingly not trendy: They’re old school and old world and I’m so happy these two made such an effort to preserve and celebrate them.”
“For years I’ve used Katie and Kristina’s on-point insights and recommendations when traveling to Rome. I’m thrilled, now, to be following them into the kitchen, recipes and inspired photographs in tow.”
“I dare you to get more than 10 pages into this book without attempting to purchase a plane ticket to Rome. Impeccably researched and beautifully designed, Tasting Rome is essential reading for anyone who has ever twirled pasta around a fork.”
“Tasting Rome is not just a cookbook! Katie and Kristina pack in history and culture into the story of Rome’s rich and delicious food history. Their narrative draws on the ancient, creative, and progressive interpretation of an Italian regional style, all of which are timeless and continue to be relevant, fundamental, and influential in modern international cuisine.”
“In Tasting Rome, Kristina and Katie have brought Rome to you with a festival of food and drink. It’s such a gorgeous book with well thought out recipes—I’m booking my plane tickets now!”
