Rome is on my bucket list of cities abroad to visit. The city is full of history, art, nature, and of course, delicious food and drinks. Until I get a chance to fly or cruise over to that part of the world, I’m getting my hands on Elizabeth Minchilli’s new book, Eating Rome: Living the Good Life in the Eternal City.
Based on the author’s popular blog, Elizabeth Minchilli in Rome, this book will make you want to hop on a plane to The Eternal City as Minchilli pays homage to the city that feeds her, showcasing Rome through her own food-focused vision.
Minchilli shows readers how to navigate the city like a native. The book shares unspoken rules of the city, such as ordering coffee the proper way, eating gelato like a true Roman and shopping in Rome’s outdoor markets. She also shares recommend places to visit for every meal. Each chapter ends with the author’s favorite recipes of mouthwatering Italian classics, including the orecchiette con le cime di rapa (orecchiette with broccoli rabe).
You can purchase a copy of the book on Amazon.
