A love letter from two Americans to their adopted city, Tasting Rome is a showcase of modern dishes influenced by tradition, as well as the rich culture of their surroundings. Even 150 years after unification, Italy is still a divided nation where individual regions are defined by their local cuisine. Each is a mirror of its city’s culture, history, and geography. But cucina romana is the country’s greatest standout. Tasting Rome provides a complete picture of a place that many love, but few know completely. In sharing Rome’s celebrated dishes, street food innovations, and forgotten recipes, journalist Katie Parla and photographer Kristina Gill capture its unique character and reveal its truly evolved food culture—a culmination of 2000 years of history. Their recipes acknowledge the foundations of Roman cuisine and demonstrate how it has transitioned to the variations found today. You’ll delight in the expected classics (cacio e pepe, pollo alla romana, fiore di zucca); the fascinating but largely undocumented Sephardic Jewish cuisine (hraimi con couscous, brodo di pesce, pizzarelle); the authentic and tasty offal (guanciale, simmenthal di coda, insalata di nervitti); and so much more. Studded with narrative features that capture the city’s history and gorgeous photography that highlights both the food and its hidden city, you’ll feel immediately inspired to start tasting Rome in your own kitchen. eBook Bonus Material: Be sure to check out the directory of all of Rome''s restaurants mentioned in the book!

85 authentic recipes and 100 stunning photographs that capture the cultural and cooking traditions of the Italian South, from the mountains to the coast. In most cultures, exploring food means exploring history—and the Italian south has plenty of both to offer. The pasta-heavy, tomato-forward “Italian food” the world knows and loves does not actually represent the entire country; rather, these beloved and widespread culinary traditions hail from the regional cuisines of the south. Acclaimed author and food journalist Katie Parla takes you on a tour through these vibrant destinations so you can sink your teeth into the secrets of their rustic, romantic dishes. Parla shares rich recipes, both original and reimagined, along with historical and cultural insights that encapsulate the miles of rugged beaches, sheep-dotted mountains, meditatively quiet towns, and, most important, culinary traditions unique to this precious piece of Italy. With just a bite of the Involtini alla Piazzetta from farm-rich Campania, a taste of Giurgiulena from the sugar-happy kitchens of Calabria, a forkful of ’U Pan’ Cuott’ from mountainous Basilicata, a morsel of Focaccia from coastal Puglia, or a mouthful of Pizz e Foje from quaint Molise, you’ll discover what makes the food of the Italian south unique. Praise for Food of the Italian South “Parla clearly crafted every recipe with reverence and restraint, balancing authenticity with accessibility for the modern home cook.”—Fine Cooking “Parla’s knowledge and voice shine in this outstanding meditation on the food of South Italy from the Molise, Campania, Puglia, Basilicata, and Calabria regions. . . .

Tutto l’amore di due americane per la loro città adottiva è racchiuso in queste pagine. Il sapore di Roma ha conquistato il loro palato e stravolto del tutto le loro vite. Così Katie Parla, giornalista, e Kristina Gill, fotografa, hanno deciso di unire le loro visioni della Capitale in un lavoro unico. Molto più che un libro di cucina: i piatti della tradizione romana e le loro innovazioni contemporanee si fondono perfettamente con gli scatti che ritraggono la città eterna in tutta la sua bellezza. Una ricca collezione di ricette che abbraccia tutti i sapori di Roma, dal salato al dolce, senza dimenticare i drink. Grande attenzione viene rivolta anche alle minoranze etiche: impossibile non riconoscere i contributi della cucina ebraica romanesca. Pur riconoscendone i fondamenti, le autrici cercano di scardinare lo stereotipo secondo cui l’unica autentica cucina romana è quella ultra tradizionale, dimostrando come si sia passati dalle ricette originali alle variazioni che conosciamo oggi. Il classico abbinamento cacio e pepe, ad esempio, originariamente utilizzato solo per la pasta, ora insaporisce anche i supplì. Il pollo alla romana, nato come piatto estivo, adesso è anche una farcitura per panini. Nuovi utilizzi che non stravolgono in alcun modo la tradizione, ma rappresentano il culmine della secolare evoluzione di questa cucina.
