Descripción editorial
Elizabeth Minchilli has been eating her way through Rome since she was 12 years old. Eating Rome, based on her popular blog Elizabeth Minchilli in Rome, is her homage to the city that feeds her, literally and figuratively. Her story is a personal, quirky and deliciously entertaining look at some of the city's monuments to food culture. Join her as she takes you on a stroll through her favorite open air markets; stop by the best gelato shops; order plates full of carbonara and finish the day with a brilliant red Negroni. Coffee, pizza, artichokes and grappa are starting points for mouth-watering stories about this ancient city. Illustrated with Minchilli's beautiful full-color photos and enriched with her favorite recipes for Roman classics like vignarola, carciofi alla romana and carbonara, Eating Rome is the book that you want if you are planning your first trip to Rome or if you have been to Rome a dozen times. And even if you just want to spend a few hours armchair traveling, Elizabeth Minchilli is the person you want by your side.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Minchilli's passion for food and Rome has produced a charming personal culinary itinerary and guidebook. Minchilli is a blogger; the creator of the Eat Rome, Eat Florence, and Eat Venice apps; and a prolific author of books on Italian architecture, design, and food. She takes readers to favorite food haunts for daily dining, shopping, and cooking, seasoned with childhood anecdotes about the city where she now raises her own family. Full of tips and cultural "rules" for consuming coffee or shopping at open-air markets and small alimentari, Minchilli's 25 how-to essays go to the streets of Rome, where she teaches the proper way of eating pizza, identifying sandwich (panino) styles, selecting gelato, and ordering when dining out. Each essay is accompanied by recipes and includes a list of locales guiding readers to the best in Roman artichokes, pizza bianca, classic pasta dishes, and pastries. Minchilli is biased toward family-run specialty shops in certain neighborhoods, and she reflects on the changing culinary scene with the rise of the Roman brunch and the closing of many traditional spots.
