Non-Fiction Memoir | Cookbooks
From failure to fusilli, this deliciously hilarious read
tells the story of Giulia Melucci's fizzled romances and the
mouth-watering recipes she used to seduce her men, smooth
over the lumps, and console herself when the relationships
flamed out.
From an affectionate alcoholic,
to the classic New York City commitment-phobe, to a hipster
aged past his sell date, and not one, but two novelists with
Peter Pan complexes, Giulia has cooked for them all. She
suffers each disappointment with resolute cheer (after a few
tears) and a bowl of pastina (recipe included) and has lived
to tell the tale so that other women may go out, hopefully
with greater success, and if that's not possible, at least
have something good to eat.
Peppered
throughout Giulia's delightful and often poignant
remembrances are fond recollections of her mother's cooking,
the recipes she learned from her, and many she invented on
her own inspired by the men in her life. Readers will howl
at Giulia's boyfriend-littered past and swoon over her
irresistable culinary creations.
