How Roman taxi drivers inspired Kristina Gill to catalog classic cucina romana recipes

"Writing a cookbook requires a sustained passion about a topic, and I never came up with anything that I thought was a good enough idea until I came up with the Roman one."

This week, we're excited to welcome Kristina Gill to Salt + Spine, the podcast on stories behind cookbooks.

Episode 90: Kristina Gill

Kristina Gill is the co-au of Tasting Rome: Fresh Flavors and Forgotten Recipes from an Ancient City. A native of Nashville, Kristina relocated to Rome in 1999. Kristina joined us remotely from, of course, Rome, to talk about the role food has played in her life, how she approaches her work, and where she turns for inspiration. Plus, of course, we’re playing a game and putting Kristina to the culinary test.

‍Bonus Content This Week

PAID SUBSCRIBERS (you can become one!) this week will get two featured recipes excerpted from Tasting Rome: Brutti ma Buoni (Hazlenut Meringues) and Pollo alla Romana (Chicken with Tomatoes and Bell Peppers).

We’ve got a great show for you today. Check out my conversation with Kristina, and thanks for joining us to #TalkCookbooks.

–Brian, Clea, and the Salt + Spine team
