Rome: Centuries in an Italian Kitchen

Description

All roads lead to Rome, and all roads in the Eternal City itself lead to a delicious meal. In Rome, Katie and Giancarlo unearth the city's hidden gems - recipes that are centuries-old, as well as new, exciting dishes inspired by Romans from all walks of life. The duo present their interpretations of classic dishes, like Katie's Cacio e Pepe (spicy cheese and pepper pasta), alongside family favourites like Spigola in Saltimbocca (seabass with parma ham and sage leaves). Collaborating with Rome's best chefs, they share modern Italian recipes - like Sorbetto di Peperone, a fiery hot chilli sorbet - that reflect the heat and colour of this bustling city. This is an impressive, fresh look at Rome's cuisine. As well as all the tantalizing recipes, Katie and Giancarlo take readers on a sumptuous, visual journey, from the Pantheon and Colosseum, to the Renaissance palazzos, Baroque fountains and neighborhood trattorias. Complemented by Katie's anecdotes of their trip, Rome is a beautiful cookbook and keepsake that will transport you to the heart of Italy.

Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi have a long-standing passion for Italian food. They own several restaurants and a cooking school in London. This is their eighth cookbook.
