The Food of Love by Anthony Capella is a delightful romantic comedy brimming with charm, culinary seduction, and the magic of Rome. When Laura, an American art student studying in the Eternal City, declares she wants to fall in love with a chef — believing them to be the most passionate of lovers — she catches the eye of Tommaso, a charming but unscrupulous waiter. Desperate to win her affection, Tommaso pretends to be a celebrated chef at a top Roman restaurant.
To keep up the ruse, Tommaso enlists the help of his shy, culinary-genius friend Bruno, whose exquisite dishes quickly steal Laura’s heart — though she believes Tommaso is behind the magic. As Bruno’s unspoken love for Laura grows, the trio becomes entangled in a mouth-watering tangle of romance, secrets, and mistaken identity.
Rich in Italian flavour, witty dialogue, and irresistible dishes, The Food of Love is a warm, funny, and endearing story in the spirit of Cyrano de Bergerac. Perfect for fans of foodie fiction, romantic comedies, and anyone who’s ever believed the way to the heart is through the stomach.
