"I am one of those guys who thinks about the Roman Empire a lot - like pretty much daily. I'm enamored with Rome and its history, partly because my family hails from the region, partly because it's just fucking fascinating. And out of all the tidbits, facts and cultural kernels there for the taking, there's nothing more interesting than the food culture of Rome."
"So I felt it was the right time to do something grander in scope, that I could structure exactly as I wanted, which definitely would not have been signed off on by a major publisher. So I basically put three books under one cover with the idea that this is the first version, and it can be refreshed and update"
Rome's food culture evolved across millennia, from the Iron Age to contemporary plates, shaping local identity and daily life. A long-term resident synthesizes three approaches—travel-style guidance, historical narrative, and practical recipes—into a single comprehensive resource. The collection offers contemporary eating tips, authentic recipes, and a robust chronology of how inhabitants ate over time. The project draws on decades of local experience and aims to be refreshable and updateable, reflecting changes in the city's culinary scene while preserving the deep connections between history, ingredients, and Roman cooking techniques.
