So excited to see Leah Koenig's book featured-I'm heading to Rome (for the first time!!) in a few weeks. I plan on spending a big chunk of my time visiting (and eating!!) in the Jewish Ghetto. If Leah has any thoughts to share with a first time visitor I'm all ears. Thanks so much!
Amazing newsletter as always! I thought you might be interested to know that in the Veneto region of Italy it's common to have "polpette" as an aperitvo snack, they are little fried patties often veggie, like spinach and ricotta, mixed veggies and white beans, eggplant or even the speciality, horse! They're delicious. Perhaps that's why Bittman calls them that?
p.s. loving the moving tales, we've just moved from Verona (hence the insider polpette knowledge) to the middle of nowhere in Umbria, so the reverse of you, it's been a wild ride! Can't wait to hear more from your new city adventures!
Your description of North Woods immediately reminded me of Alice Hoffman's new book that just came out, The Invisible Hour. Adding North Woods to my list!
Hi Leah. Your book looks wonderful! We are spending 5 days in Rome in December, staying in Trestevere and would love any recommendations on great dinner places for our family of 5 (3 kids who love eating out aged 12, 15 and 18). Thank you!
I enjoy when you recommend new/old cookbooks. I've been collecting cookbooks for about 40 years and edit them with each move I've made. However, I'm curious as to how you display or store yours? I'm sure this is challenging in a new smaller place. I currently have mine stored in an antique bookshelf with glass doors, and I seasonally change out the two I display on the open shelves in my kitchen. Thanks!

Also loving Portico! So beautiful and rich and dozens of things I want to make right now!!

Could we get another Q&A with Andy down the road? I revisit that piece often!
That would be tricks…
Lovely recipe ideas, Leah and Jenny. Can you please tell me if the mushroom moussaka can be frozen and if there any trucks for doing so? Thanks!

Thank you Jenny! I'm thrilled to share Portico and the chicken and peppers recipe with DALS readers. And happy to answer any questions!

Casalino Osteria and Renato Al Ghetto are both great. :)

As someone thinking about leaving the city for greener pastures, your return to the UWS gives me hope!!! Life is so full circle.
