Celebrating the first episode of 2008, Italian Adventure Part 2: Roman Holiday, we have a cornucopia of delightful recommendations for people going to Rome, with a few other odds and ends thrown in for good measure:

• Peter Reinhart's Whole Grain Breads
• Families Who Made Rome
• Context Rome
• Le Mani In Pasta
• Al Pompiere
• Obika
• Ciuri Ciuri

There is talk of many fine restaurants, some footwear advice, what you should do for tours, and a jab at a certain food celebrity. Who could it be, who could it be?
