Description: This is a recipe book that reflects the way I cook and eat: uncomplicated, direct and adaptable Italian family food that reflects the season. The two kitchens of the title are my kitchens in Rome and Sicily. In a sense, though, we could have called the book many kitchens as I invite you to make these recipes your own. For the last twelve years, food-writer, cook and photographer Rachel Roddy has immersed herself in the culture of Roman cooking, but it was the flavours of the south that she and her Sicilian partner, Vincenzo, often craved. Eventually the chance arose to spend more time at his old family house in south-east Sicily, where Rachel embraced the country's traditional recipes and the stories behind them. In Two Kitchens she celebrates the food and flavours of Rome and Sicily and shares over 120 of these simple, everyday dishes from her two distant but connected kitchens. From tomato and salted ricotta salad, caponata and baked Sicilian pasta to lemon crumble, honeyed peaches and almond and chocolate cake, they are the authentic Italian recipes that you will want to cook again and again until you've made them your own. Rachel's first book, Five Quarters: Recipes and Notes from a Kitchen in Rome, won the Andre Simon Food Book Award and the Guild of Food Writers' First Book Award in 2015.' Rachel Roddy describing how to boil potatoes would inspire me. I want to live under her kitchen table. There are very, very few who possess such a supremely uncluttered culinary voice as hers, just now.' - Simon Hopkinson.

Review: Rachel roddy is probably one of the cookbook writers who have most shaped my cooking, especially on a day to day basis. This is a beautiful book and full of recipes that are delicious and can be integrated into day to day cooking. I also made the cassata cake for a friend's birthday, and I've rarely had so many raves about a dessert - described as 'outrageous' (in a positive way) and I'm still getting people telling me weeks later how delicious and memorable it was.

Review: Clear crisp writing: both as regards the background descriptions and the recipes. I live in Rome and have been to the market in Testaccio so can relate to the material. The recipes are easy to follow and I look forward to doing some of them.
