Excited doesn’t even begin to describe it!
I have my debut book, I Heart Rome (published by Smith Street Books) in my hot hands and I’ll let you in on a little secret. It’s gorgeous (if I say so myself!) Here are some more sneak peak pictures and the book description:
“Rome begs to be uncovered at every turn. Through authentic local stories, recipes and glorious photos, I Heart Rome takes you on a deliciously inspiring journey through the parts of the city that tourists rarely get to see. Where the people – the modern-day Romans (and adopted Romans) – look to their future as they live in a present that is so connected to the past. Explore the food from the streets, historic trattorie and home kitchens of this incredible city. Along the way, meet the local cheesemongers, wine experts, bakers, chefs and more, who make Rome one of the great – and original – food capitals of the world.”
