Ana Ros is widely considered the best chef in Slovenia, and will soon be featured on Season 2 of the Netflix hit show Chef’s Table. She runs Hi a Franko, a countryside estate and restaurant that has been in her husband’s family for decades and happens to be the location where Ernest Hemingway wrote A Farewell To Arms. Ana never intended to be a chef — she was an international studies and diplomacy student when she met her husband, Valter, and they took over running Hi a Franko together. Ana taught herself how to cook with the help of Valter’s mother, and soon she was running a top notch kitchen and creating an entirely new kind of food: high‐end Slovenian cuisine. Outside the kitchen, Ana works with recovering drug addicts by teaching them how to cook, and she also works with young cooks to help them develop their careers. Katie Parla moved to Rome in 2003 after graduating from Yale, and recently co‐authored the cookbook Tasting Rome, pulling from her experiences abroad.

She often appears as a Rome expert on the History Channel, Travel Channel, and the university lecture circuit. Kristina Gill is the food and drinks editor at DesignSponge.com, a home and lifestyle site with over 1.2 million readers per month.

She is also a food and travel photographer, and the co‐author of Tasting Rome. Kristina transferred to Rome in 1999 after earning her BA from Stanford and her MA from Johns Hopkins SAIS.
This week on All in the Industry, host Shari Bayer is joined in the studio by Katie Parla, a Rome-based food and beverage educator and journalist. Originally from New Jersey, she has an art history degree from Yale, a master’s degree in Italian Gastronomic Culture from the Università degli Studi di Roma “Tor Vergata”, a sommelier certificate from the Federazione Italiana Sommelier Albergatori Ristoratori, and an archeological speleology certification from the city of Rome. Katie’s mission is to highlight great food and beverages, praise the people dedicated to feeding us well, and to get readers talking about what they are eating and drinking. She focuses special attention on Rome, where she lives, threats to local food culture, and critical reviews of restaurants and trends. Her cookbook, Tasting Rome: Fresh Flavors and Forgotten Recipes from an Ancient City, co-authored with photographer Kristina Gill, is on sale now.
On today's episode of THE FOOD SEEN, Kristina Gill takes us on a tour of Cucina Romana , which can be followed through every bite of pasta (Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Alla Gricia, Amatriciana and more), in her book, "Tasting Rome." Though Kristina grew up in Nashville TN, surrounded by the splendors of her family's small gardens, her grandmother's seasonal produce deep freeze, and a panty of boxed goods like Rice-a-Roni, Pillsbury biscuits and Shake'N Bake, it wasn't until Kristina left for college, and spent time abroad in Italy, that she began buying cookbooks, and taking a deeper look into a well versed culinary history. Kristina left her job in Foreign Affairs and Policy to gain more free time to explore the foods of Italia, started a blog, learned photography, and launched "In The Kitchen With" on Design Sponge, where she collected interviews and recipes from people working in the design and lifestyle fields. These fascinations combined, a compendium seemed inevitable, and with co-author Katie Parla, Kristina compiled the best of what Roman cuisine had to offer, from Cazzimperio (crudities) to 'Nduja in Carrozza (the best grilled cheese you'll ever have). From Ebracia (Jewish) delicacies to Quinto Quarto (offal) dishes, and of course all the spring Vedure (greens) like Vignarola (artichoke, pea, fava and lettuce stew), and pizza (of course), Rome has to offer. So get ready to eat your way from antipasto to dolce, that will have you making travel plans to taste Rome today!
Ever tried orange wine? Food Talk host Mike Colameco kicks off this week’s show with an in studio wine tasting with Chris Struck of the yet-to-reopen Rouge Tomate. With conversation centered around the details of Georgian amber wine (also known as orange wine), Chris explains the differences between this variety of wine versus the commonly known red or white along with some personal anecdotes of his wino-related travels. After the break, Katie Parla, Rome-based food and beverage educator and journalist, joins in studio highlighting the state of eating out in Rome plus how Italian food culture is changing. Her forthcoming book, Tasting Rome, co-authored with Kristina Gill, will be published by Clarkson Potter in early 2016. “These amber wines tend to be more tannic… it is a food wine.” [15:00] –Chris Struck on Food Talk “We’re losing something. When people [Italians] talk about their favorite dish they don’t say ‘it’s my mom’s pasta, this is my granny’s pasta’ and I think that’s very telling.” [47:52] –Katie Parla on Food Talk

They’re complementary.” [8:30] — Kristina Gill on After the Jump “I enjoy Pinterest, but I’m not super interested because I’m more into creating the images.” [17:45] — Matt Armendariz on After the Jump
