Tasting RomeIn their new cookbook Tasting Rome, journalist Katie Parla and photographer Kristina Gill capture cucina romana –  Rome’s unique character and evolved food culture – a culmination of two thousand years of history. Each recipe was selected for the story it tells, and combined the recipes acknowledge the foundations of the cuisine and demonstrate how it has transitioned to the variations found today.

You can learn more about the cookbook by reading co-author Kristina Gill’s story of how she fell in love with Rome and wanted to tell the story of its food.

We’re delighted to offer 1 copy of Tasting Rome to EYB Members worldwide. One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post:

Which Roman ingredient or recipe are you most interested in learning more about?

Please note that you must be logged into the Rafflecopter contest before posting or your entry won’t be counted. If you are not already a Member, you can join at no cost. The contest ends September 19, 2016.

    Ah–the cover illustration has made me fixate on squash blossoms: I'd love to learn the A to Zed of how to harvest them (or where to find them–and at what time of year), how to prepare them for use, and how to incorporate them into a variety of Roman dishes. Exciting!

    Italian cuisine is always more about style and method than about particular ingredients. The anchovy and frisée casserole sounds just like one of those simple but brilliant recipes.
