A ROMAN COOKBOOK WITH ROME’S RECIPES AND STORIES

Simposio is an Italian cookbook series: each monography explores a city, a region, a season, or a particular aspect of the Italian peninsula. Papal Rome is a Roman cookbook dedicated to the traditional Roman cuisine. Rome’s recipes, this time, are framed by stories of the popes’ kingdom, of their kitchens, and of the city’s noble palaces. But Osterie and their frequenters have many stories and regional recipes to share, too. Many other delicious and flavorful dishes follow the stories of Rome’s Grand Toureres, of the literates in the cafes, of the villas, and the painters…
Each Roman recipe recalls those who lived in this city with intensity, breathing art, beauty, violence, greed, religion, insolence, and passion.
