As the Romans Do: Authentic and reinvented recipes from the Eternal City - Hardcover

Today, Eleonora is zigzagging between Rome and Paris, and has opened the door to a secret location in the historical centres of both cities, where she organizes cooking workshops as well as collaborates with thematic events by providing her culinary touch; she also runs a clandestine pop up restaurant in the least expected places and adores visiting local producers and reporting about it on her blog.

Her Instagram formula is a unique mix of food and lifestyle in motion, which has conquered her the heart of over 30K disconcertingly loyal followers. The rule? Food happiness. No one can resist it. Eleonora was forbidden from entering her great grandmother's kitchen when she was a little girl, but she was allowed to taste the linguine to make sure they were "al dente".

As it's often the case in life, an obstacle turned this girl's curiosity into a hobby, then twisted it into a job. In her family home, she found a dusty handwritten recipes book, she started playing with the ingredients to make her dinner parties explosive, and eventually she trained at the Ateneo Italiano della Cucina in Rome.

Then it was the turn of studying for a master's degree in gastronomy and food culture. The rest is history. Her life as a student first and her career as a journalist later brought her around the world: London, Paris, New York, Sao Paulo or Istanbul.
