Review "Cooks who value history and context as crucial ingredients in their recipes will treasure Tasting Rome...One of the books many strengths is its ability to translate several thousand years of the citys cuisine for todays reader and home cook...The authors cover some major territory here, culling the best of Rome from peripheral neighborhoods and downloading kitchen wisdom from both the citys more innovative restaurants and generations-old institutions." —New York Times Book Review"Youll see Rome though the eyes and taste buds of Katie Parla and Kristina Gill in this attractive new cookbook. They lightly sketch Roman history through its neighborhoods and their culinary specialties, like offal in Testaccio, Jewish foods from the ghetto and the cooking of Libyan immigrants.
