The Flavours and Scents of Rome / Traditional Roman Cuisine: Recipes and Restaurants (in English)

Traveling foodies rejoice! This full-color cookbook not only tells you how to make more than 27 traditional Roman recipes, it also shows you where to find more than 30 restaurants in Rome that exemplify the cuisine. These 35 restaurants and trattorias were chosen for quality, location, traditional methods, and affordable price -- and not by paid advertisement. In addition, 27 recipes are paired with DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin) wines produced around Rome and Lazio. Each recipe includes the ingredients, directions and the history of the dish. As you flip through these pages, you will find color photographs and recipes that will tempt you to try a variety of Roman dishes. If you like cooking, you will thoroughly enjoy discovering this style of Italian cuisine and its own special nuances. Over and above the recipes, you will truly taste the feeling of Rome. The book is enriched with photos of some of the most beautiful sites in the city and presentations of trattorias and traditional Roman restaurants that prepare the recipes presented here. Includes a one-page color street map that is keyed to an alphabetical listing of the restaurants on the opposite page. Includes a recipe index and a index of the wines.
