The Food of Love by Anthony Capella
August 19, 2005 | Filed Under Books, The Food of Love
One of my favorites, if not the favorite food novel, is The Food of Love by Anthony Capella. It’s a romantic comedy revolving around food when two young Italians men try to woo an American student, visiting Rome. The story is funny, witty and cleverly written. A part of the story is a takeoff on Cyrano De Bergerac but is still a very different story.
Descriptions of the meals prepared with loving care make me drool and wish that I had the opportunity to taste them. There’s an added bonus of a few simple recipes at the end of the book. With some nervousness, I decide to try a few of them and to my surprise they come out well. It is around this time that my cooking adventures begin.
