It tells the story of the author's move from London to Rome, and the resultant change in her relationship with food. In \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTwo Kitchens\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, she relates the next stage of her Italian education: an exploration of the culinary culture of Sicily, where her partner was born. The flavours are fresh and summery - chicken balls with lemon and ricotta, for example - and much time is devoted to vegetables and other side-dishes. As in Five Quarters, Roddy's warmth, humour and love of Italian ingredients shines through the prose. * The Week - Best Cookbooks of 2017 *\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Headline Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47851741970775,"sku":"9781472248411","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781472248411.jpg?v=1710643467","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/two-kitchens-9781472248411","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
