This Rome travel cookbook wants you to fully experience the city’s food and recipes. To do so, it is important to know a bit about the background. The magic of its endless heritage, the mixed cultures that contributed to its grandiosity, and the deep-rooted personality of its people.

Cooking Rome recipes is like adding these ingredients to your dishes. A tad of Ancient Rome, a pinch of baroque, a spoonful of Renaissance. This travel cookbook aims to bring to your kitchen the myths, legends, and history that permeates Rome and its cuisine.

ROME IN A TRAVEL COOKBOOK

Rome is the more enchanting city in the world and one with the best Italian food. It is not just a vacation destination but a way of life: beauty reigns and flavors sit by her side.

It deserves more than organized info, a map, and a “must-see” places list. It deserves more than an ingredient list followed by instructions. It deserves an experiential cookbook.

This is not a regular Rome cookbook, and neither is a travel guide book. It is a treasure chest. Open it and let it inundate your eyes, conquer your spirit, and make you believe in things you never thought possible.

INSIDE ROME’S SIMPOSIO COOKBOOK

With this cookbook dedicated to Rome, you’ll pamper yourself with beautiful pictures, meet mythologic creatures, and follow the steps of legendary personages. 

You will cook recipes from the Ancient Rome days and traditional and rustic dishes of the present. All in great company. Recipes, travel (although through the pages of a book), and culture are the perfect ingredients to enjoy Italy deeply and mindfully.
