Rosa has a clear beauty about her, and she is always in the thick of what is happening in the food world, whether it be in Nice, or Paris, or Morocco or wherever her many travels take her. Niçoise, the book, has that same clarity, with the sharp focus of the Niçoise sun, the vibrancy of the city's population, the vivid colors and sparkles from the produce and the sea. This book opens up a city that defies description, places it in its region and beyond. It is a book to treasure.–Susan Herrmann Loomis, author of fourteen books, journalist, ghost writer
