This book was fantastic! I really love her style of writing. When she tells a story, its as if she's having a conversation directly to you. I laughed out loud, and that doesn't happen often. I enjoyed the recipes in it too, and have tried a few. A must read for any culinary lover!!! (  ) fredamans | Sep 5, 2009 | I really enjoyed this book. It is part New York City single girl memoir and part foodie memoir all rolled up into one. She tells the tales of all of her ex-boyfriends, the meeting, the dating, and the feeding of said boyfriends. Because that is what she does, she feeds her boyfriends, she cooks for them. I have to say the mom in me wanted to sit her down and have a good old-fashioned talk with her. I know that we are in enlightened times, but really you don't always have to be the one inviting them up to your apartment, kissing them first, trying to seduce them...basically doing all the work. Let them do the work, let them try and figure out how to win you. But aside from all the chasing and dating, there is the cooking. Since I listened to this book, I don't have any of the recipes in front of me. But they all sounded wonderful, simple, and delicious. Lots of pasta and lots of simple, real cooking. Cooking from the pantry when you get home late and you're starving. (  ) scrappycat | Aug 16, 2009 | If the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach -- perhaps the quickest way to understand love is through love gained and lost. Guilia takes us through a personal journey through her varied relationships and the varied dishes along the way. If you love good food, good writing and some good stories -- this will be an enjoyable read for you. (  ) leadmomma | Jun 28, 2009 | I read about this book in a cooking magazine and it sounded cute. It is but not worth going out of your way for. The heroine's numerous numerous sexual encounters often include making dinner for her present lover and recipes of the food she talks about are often included. Author's style is kind of boring and I may not finish the book. It's becoming repetetive. (  ) liliboisvert22 | Jun 9, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review

I enjoyed this well enough and as a single woman could identify with some of the author's anguishes and compulsions. The food sounded really good too. It doesn't stand out as the greatest read ever, but it is a nice diversion if you want to read about someone's love life and peruse some interestng recipes. (
