23. The Food of Love by Anthony Capella


BOOK REVIEW: The Food of Love by Anthony Capella

Being a girly girl myself, I am highly strung on reading romance novels, both of the rom-com types as well as the serious down-to-earth romance (all the ladies out there, you know what I mean). Reading a novel that gets your heart a-flutter and butterflies swarming your belly is few and far between. The Food of Love is one of those novels that will set your heart alight and passions running high for those lovey-dovey ones out there.

Laura Patterson is studying art history in Rome. She’s decided that from now on she’ll only go out with a man who can cook.

Tommaso Massi, handsome and silver-tongued, tells Laura that he’s a chef at one of Italy’s best restaurants. In fact, he’s just a humble waiter.

His best friend, Bruno, who really is a chef – a brilliant one – is called upon to help.But when he also falls for Laura the sparks begin to fly.

This novel relates the importance of honesty in a relationship and how true love finally wins in the end. It is a lesson in life for girls not to get duped by what is on the outside but to understand and treasure matters of the heart. For those who love passion (and a lot of it), this book is the one for you as decadent, sinful ingredients (I’m talking strawberries, chocolate and ice cream, got the idea? Ehemm) are used to ignite passion throughout.


While traipsing through Italian life, its people and its food, the author strings a memorable novel that you will want to read again and again.
