Sinopse

Katie is a New Jersey-native turned ex-pat Roman food writer and culturist, curator, and beverage educator. Compelled to visit her homeland and explore a place that's resonated with her, Katie moved to Rome after graduating from Yale. After the romantic connection faded, her interest with the city's complexities, cultural expressions, and people remained. And so did she. There she began to build a life as a writer, where archeology and food navigated the direction of her career. She studied Italian Gastronomic Culture and, from that, her food blog was born. She gained attention from the media which led her to realize a career in food writing was something she could pursue in Rome, or anywhere. Today, she's written and edited more than 20 books on food.
