Laura Patterson is an American exchange student in Rome, who, fed up with being inexpertly groped by her young Italian beaus, decides there's one sure fire way to find a sensual man: date a chef. She meets Tomasso, handsome, young and he cooks in the exclusive Templi restaurant. Perfect. Except, unbeknownst to Laura, Tomasso is only a waiter at Templi, it's his shy friend Bruno who is the chef. But Tomasso is the one who knows how to get the girls and when Laura comes to dinner, he persuades Bruno to help him with the charade. It works, the meal is a sensual feast, Laura is utterly seduced and Tomasso falls in lust. But it is Bruno, the real chef who has secretly prepared every dish Laura has eaten, who falls deeply and unrequitedly in love. A delicious tale of Cyrano de Bergerac style culinary seduction.
'The Food of Love is a splendid, linen suit, panama hat, distant lawnmower kind of a book; guaranteed to whisk you far from this drizzly island, soothe you, warm you and return you home again without losing any of your luggage' Hugh Laurie 'A delicious book - funny, foodie and romantic. The definitive Roman romantic comedy' Richard Curtis 'I read it while travelling in Italy and really enjoyed the whole concept of chefs, love, Italy, food and sex' Rose Gray, owner of The River Cafe
Anthony Capella spends part of each year travelling in Italy. He is based in London and this is his first novel.
