Praise for Cooking the Roman Way
"Downie has beautifully and evocatively captured the cuisine of one of the world's best-known cities." --Publishers Weekly "Can't afford a trek right about now? Fortunately, a great vicarious substitute is available: David Downie's Cooking the Roman Way.But this is way more than a cookbook. It's a veritable tour guide to so much of what makes Rome special." --Minneapolis Star-Tribune Praise for Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Amsterdam"Like being taken around by a savvy local." --The New York Times Praise for Paris, Paris"Perhaps the most evocative American book about Paris since A Moveable Feast." --Jan Morris "David Downie lives in a Paris, like wine in a glass. Paris, Paris is his quirky, personal, independent view of the city, its history and its people. Residents will recognize a place they can vouch for and not the clichés so frequently conjured up to match the legends. Visitors and newcomers are bound to find Paris, Paris reliable company as they discover the city's beauties and pleasures and its problems too." --Mavis Gallant "David Downie's prose illuminates Paris with unequalled poignancy and passion. He understands and evokes the souls and the substance of the city with a critic's intelligence and a lover's heart. He makes me want to live in Paris again." --Donald George, Global Travel Editor, Lonely Planet "The delightful and insightful essays in Paris, Paris meld history, atmosphere, and observations on Paris places, Paris people and Paris phenomena." --Chicago Tribune "Downie brilliant upholds the American expat tradition of portraying the City of Light with an original and endearing touch." --John Flinn, Travel Editor, San Francisco Sunday Chronicle
