My Kitchen in Rome: Recipes and Notes on Italian Cooking

My Kitchen in Rome: Recipes and Notes on Italian Cooking by Roddy, Rachel. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781455585168.

When Rachel Roddy visited Rome in 2005 she never intended to stay. But then she happened upon the neighborhood of Testaccio, the wedge-shaped quarter of Rome that centers around the old slaughterhouse and the bustling food market, and fell instantly in love. Thus began an Italian adventure that has turned into a brand new life. My Kitchen in Rome charts a year in Rachels small Italian kitchen, shopping, cooking, eating, and writing, capturing a uniquely domestic picture of life in this vibrant, charismatic city. Weaving together stories, memories, and recipes for thick bean soups, fresh pastas, braised vegetables, and slow-cooked meats, My Kitchen in Rome captures the spirit of Rachels beloved blog, Rachel Eats, and offers readers the chance to cook "cucina romana" without leaving the comfort of home.
