''This is the most wonderful cookbook . . . Rachel Roddy is a marvellous writer'' India Knight ''Roddy is a gifted storyteller, and a masterful hand with simple ingredients'' Guardian Cook ''Of course I thought Rome was glorious, but I didn''t want to stay. A month, three at most, then I''d take a train back to Sicily to finish the clockwise journey I''d interrupted, before moving even further southwards...'' Instead, captivated by the exhilarating life of Testaccio, the wedge-shaped quarter of Rome that centres round the old slaughterhouse and the bustling food market, Rachel decided to rent a flat and live there. Thus began an Italian adventure that''s turned into a brand new life. Five Quarters charts a year in Rachel''s small kitchen, shopping, cooking, eating and writing, capturing a uniquely domestic picture of life in this vibrant, charismatic city. Combining Rachel''s love of Italian food and cooking with a strong nostalgia for home and memories of growing up in England, this is a cookbook to read in bed as well as to use in the kitchen. Chapters: Antipasti Soup & Pasta Meat & Fish Vegetables Dolci
