"Minchilli unlocks the secret door to reveal a thrilling world of Roman food—not just the best places to go but also why Italians adore them." —Ina Garten
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.
"You'll find this book a handy navigator whether in Rome for two days or two months, and a delicious gift for someone who is embarking on a trip to Italy, especially if it is their first." —The Wall Street Journal
"A truly insider's culinary guide to Rome, Elizabeth Minchilli takes us into the trattorias, caffès, pizzerias, and gelaterias of Rome." —David Lebovitz, New York Times–bestselling author of The Sweet Life in Paris

      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.

      Author, blogger, and creator of the app Eat Rome, Minchilli (Italian Rustic) shares recipes and descriptions of the best places to eat and shop for food in the Eternal City. An American, Minchilli first moved to Rome at age 12 and lives there now with her Italian husband; she has spent many years sampling the cuisine of her adopted hometown. Each chapter in this book covers a different topic, from breakfast to vegetables, pasta to pizza, grappa to gelato. She writes about ordering coffee, her favorite restaurants and trattorie and what Italian children eat. She devotes an entire chapter to artichokes and another to pastries. Her experiences in the city flavor her observations of food culture; she tells readers, for example, that in Rome people never eat bread with pasta. Recipes list both English and metric measurements. Some ingredients, such as rabbit, may be hard to find in parts of the United States, but the author sometimes suggests substitutions. VERDICT If planning to dine in Rome or cook like a Roman, this is the book for you.--Janet Clapp, N. Clarendon, VT
