Both of the books by Rachel Roddy, Five Quarters: Recipes and Notes from a Kitchen in Rome and Two Kitchens: 120 Family Recipes from Sicily and Rome are essential reads.

This episode Rachel Roddy talks about another essential cookbook for all Italian bookshelves, Le Ricette Regionali Italiane by Anna Gosetti della Salda. The regional textbook to trump all.

Rachel's third book, An A-Z of Pasta: Stories, Shapes, Sauces, Recipes, is out this summer. The blurb on the cover by Simon Hopkinson reads "I want to live under her kitchen table..." Me too, Simon.
