Live Like A Roman
christina cooks: back to the cutting board

I love Rome. I love the chaos, the traffic, the culture, the people, the history and the food. Ah, the food. But the lifestyle is what really grabs me and won't let go. A powerhouse of a city that manages wealth, history, banking, commerce, tourism and all the trapping of a major cultural hub, life in Rome has a rhythm that sings to me. Recipes: Carciofi alla Romana; Vignarola; Almond Ricotta on Toasted Bread.

Episode Duration: 26 minutes and 45 seconds

Episode Number: 403
