Written by Roman native and Instagram food star Eleonora Galasso, it blends authentic, generations-old recipes with fresh, modern reinventions. From quick breakfasts to lively al fresco lunches and effortless dinner-party dishes, the book captures the community spirit and everyday rituals that make Roman food culture so distinctive, offering home cooks a genuine taste of the Eternal City. About the Book Rome's food culture is as layered as its history, and Eleonora Galasso captures much of it in this generously illustrated hardback collection. Structured around the natural rhythm of a Roman day, the book moves from simple, earthy breakfasts through vibrant seasonal lunches to relaxed, shareable dinners built for entertaining. Each recipe is framed with personal stories, local context and practical serving suggestions, so readers understand not just how a dish is made but why it matters to Roman life. Classic staples such as pecorino, guanciale, artichokes and seasonal vegetables sit alongside Eleonora's own contemporary reinventions, giving the collection real depth for both traditionalists and adventurous cooks. The photography, shot on location around Rome, brings the sanpietrini streets, palazzos and markets to life, making this as much a visual journey as a working cookbook. Recipes are written with clear, achievable steps suited to home kitchens, with sensible ingredient substitutions where authentic produce may be harder to find outside Italy. Whether cooking a quick weeknight pasta or hosting a dinner party, the book offers confidence-building guidance throughout, and works equally well as an everyday kitchen reference or an attractive hardback to display and gift.
