Rome is best discovered through the plate. Zu Gast in Rom is less a classic cookbook and more a culinary stroll through the city – guided by Stefan Maiwald and visually carried by Andrea Di Lorenzo. Between antipasti and dolci, Roman cuisine unfolds as living culture: honest, minimalist, and deeply rooted.

Alongside iconic recipes such as Cacio e Pepe, Carciofi alla Romana, or Saltimbocca, the book opens doors to hidden trattorias, markets, and cafés located far off the tourist track. Anecdotes, historical context, and precise insider tips make it clear why food in Rome is always identity, too. A volume that combines travel and cooking – and makes you eager to experience Rome with all your senses, on location just as at home.
