About the Author

Today, Eleonora is zigzagging between Rome and Paris, and has opened the door to a secret location in the historical centres of both cities, where she organizes cooking workshops as well as collaborates with thematic events by providing her culinary touch; she also runs a clandestine pop up restaurant in the least expected places and adores visiting local producers and reporting about it on her blog.

Her Instagram formula is a unique mix of food and lifestyle in motion, which has conquered her the heart of over 30K disconcertingly loyal followers. The rule? Food happiness. No one can resist it. Eleonora was forbidden from entering her great grandmother's kitchen when she was a little girl, but she was allowed to taste the linguine to make sure they were "al dente".

As it's often the case in life, an obstacle turned this girl's curiosity into a hobby, then twisted it into a job. In her family home, she found a dusty handwritten recipes book, she started playing with the ingredients to make her dinner parties explosive, and eventually she trained at the Ateneo Italiano della Cucina in Rome.

Then it was the turn of studying for a master's degree in gastronomy and food culture. The rest is history. Her life as a student first and her career as a journalist later brought her around the world: London, Paris, New York, Sao Paulo or Istanbul.

I learned about this book after taking a cooking class in Paris from Eleonora. She shares her intimate knowledge of cooking from the heart and her passion for life within these pages. I love how she explains each recipe, her memories of each dish, and something special about it. Also, many of the recipes have pictures of the final dish. I really enjoyed reading it.

Reviewed in Germany on April 2, 2018

Sehr oft ist die Autorin abfottografiert, stark geschminkt, in albernen Moden ihrer Zeit, und allzu gern entblößt sie für diese Knipsbilder ihre nicht optimal geformten Beine. Es geht in diesem Buch ja durchaus um Fleisch, erfreulicherweise oft sogar um Innereien. Aber es ist doch kein Buch geschlechtlicher Fleischlichkeit.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )Verified Purchase
The recipes in this book are really good. I like that they are simple yet deliver on taste and that they use easy to find ingredients. It's not your usual italian cookbook as it focuses more on food from Rome and on everyday glamourous food. There is a good variety of recipes to please everyone here. A great coffee table book that will be used a lot in our kitchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Roman cookbook written by a local.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is THE best cookbook I ever laid hands on. I got completely immersed in the recipes (which are traditional with tiny twists here and there) and the anecdotes which are self-humorous, descriptive to the extent of being almost cinematographic, thus giving context to the recipes and a proper insight into the real Rome, the one tourists don't normally have access to. Eleanora suggest you to look always further, always a little bit closer to Roman habits, and make them yours. The recipes are perfectly explained and don't require special or unusual equipments. You can find most of the ingredients (most of which come cheap) in most well equipped supermarkets, with some visit paid at the Italian deli here and there. What's more, I threw a dinner party at home for a couple of friends, making the delightful thursday's gnocchi followed by the semifreddo, and we were discussing the different times of the day in the life of a Roman. Each one of us would point out at how they would get their coffee in Italy or what was the best way to enjoy one's aperitivo, and we were recurrently going back to the advice given by Eleanora in the book. Finally an Italian person talking about their food! This author is the new point of reference for all things authentically Italian. Certainly my muse in the kitchen from now on.

I fell in love with this book from the moment I set eyes on it.
Beautiful in every way, with gorgeous recipes and imagery.
I defy anyone not to want to jump on the next plane to Rome and experience the place first hand.
Eleaonora has a hit on her hands, for sure, and her passion and love for her homeland shines through.
An absolute gem!
