Katie Parla's Rome: Food & Archeology
A source of both nutrition and pleasure, food is also a booming commercial enterprise with a long, storied history. As the center of a vast Empire, Rome’s ancient harbors were abuzz with various aspects of the food trade as condiments, raw materials and beverages converged on the banks of the Tiber from distant provinces. Livestock was traded and slaughtered for consumption and religious ritual. Join me for a stroll through Rome's ancient cattle market, along the Tiber River and to the Circus Maximus for a sneak peak at my Food & Archeology tour, which explores trade, traffic, and enterprise from antiquity to today.
Katie Parla's Food of the Italian South Cookbook
Katie Parla's latest cookbook Food of the Italian South explores the classic, lost, and disappearing dishes of Basilicata, Campania, Calabria, Molise, and Puglia with 85 authentic recipes and 100 stunning photographs.
In most cultures, exploring food means exploring history—and the Italian south has plenty of both to offer. The pasta-heavy, tomato-forward “Italian food” the world knows and loves does not actually represent the entire country; rather, these beloved and widespread culinary traditions hail from the regional cuisines of the south.
Acclaimed author and food journalist Katie Parla takes you on a tour through these vibrant destinations so you can sink your teeth into the secrets of their rustic, romantic dishes.
Parla shares rich recipes, both original and reimagined, along with historical and cultural insights that encapsulate the miles of rugged beaches, sheep-dotted mountains, meditatively quiet towns, and, most important, culinary traditions unique to this precious piece of Italy.

Tasting Rome: Fresh Flavors & Forgotten Recipes from an Ancient City
TASTING ROME
Fresh Flavors & Forgotten Recipes from an Ancient City
(2016, Potter)
by Katie Parla and Kristina Gill
A love letter from two Americans to their adopted city, showcasing modern dishes influenced by tradition, as well as the rich culture of their surroundings. Even 150 years after unification, Italy is still a divided nation where individual regions are defined by their local cuisine– mirrors of their culture, history, and geography. But the cucina romana is the country’s greatest standout. In Tasting Rome, journalist Katie Parla and photographer Kristina Gill capture Rome’s unique character and truly evolved food culture– a culimation of two thousand years of history. The recipes here, each selected for the story it tells, acknowledge the foundations of the cuisine and demonstrate how it has transitioned to the variations found today.
