Of course Claudia Roden is one of the great poet travellers of food writing, with fantastically detailed etymological research. Plus her recipes all work. If I aspire to be anyone it’s her but I’m much more badly behaved. She’s so elegant!

Less famous then her bOok of Middle Eastern Food which I also love. No other collection of so called 'Italian' recipes understands the regional diversity of this country's cooking.

Rachel Roddy

Food writer and blogger

I am a great fan of Claudia Roden's writing and recipes, this is the book I use most as I write (mostly) about Italian food.

Introduced us to the regions of Italy. On Italian holidays, I copy the chapter according to my destination.
