Italy 🇮🇹

Fresh pasta, unforgettable meals, and the joy of gathering around the table.

Italy reminds me that a meal is about so much more than the food on the table. Every visit has been filled with neighborhood trattorias, family recipes, and unforgettable meals shared with family and friends. The cookbooks on my shelf help me bring those memories home while inspiring me to continue learning the techniques behind some of my favorite Italian dishes.

The books that continue my journey through Italy.


Roads to Rome

Roads to Rome earned a place on my shelf because it captures the simple, honest cooking that first made me fall in love with Roman cuisine. Cooking from it has challenged me to improve my pasta making, refine classic techniques, and recreate the flavors of memorable meals I’ve enjoyed in Italy.
