Anthony Dante has been visiting his wife's grave every
Sunday for the past year. He comes early because it's such
a peaceful time and because he can talk to Angie without
having to worry about someone thinking he's a nutcase. It's
on this particular Sunday, with a good cup of coffee in
hand, that Anthony shares a couple of important pieces of
news. First, Michael Dante, his little brother, just
retired from his career as a professional hockey player for
the New York Blades to stay home and be a full-time dad
while his wife Theresa goes back to work. And second, the
old candy store across from Dante's Ristorante (a lifelong
fixture in Bensonhurst) is being turned into another
trattoria. Good luck to them is how Anthony feels. They're
about to enter the big league.
Vivi Robitaille sees Americans as people willing to take
risks and dream big. That's why she moved from France to
New York to follow her dream of opening up a small French
bistro. Vivi would like nothing better than to have people
staring dreamily into each others' eyes over a bottle of
Bordeaux. Even as a small child, she knew she was destined
to be a chef.
Vivi crosses the street to Dante's to introduce herself.
This is when Anthony, stirring his family recipe
for "gravy," meets Vivi for the first time. She just "pops
in to say hello," but before leaving, she has the nerve to
criticize his cooking. Of course, Anthony also has the
audacity to criticize her coffee. However, it isn't long
before Anthony is enjoying Vivi's Pineapple Flan and Vivi
is enjoying Anthony's Ricotta Fritters and these two chefs
are enjoying each other.
It was so enjoyable to return to Bensonhurst and Dante's
Ristorante. We get caught up on Michael and Theresa's
family, which is grand (with a few surprises from their
children). JUST A TASTE is a delightful "off the ice" love
story that scores big and will have your taste buds
tingling. Meeting Anthony and Vivi is enchanting, fun and
very sexy. JUST A TASTE captures your heart and takes you
to a tender place. It will make you laugh and melt your
heart at the same time. Don't miss this wonderful and
newest chapter in the Dante family. It's another winner by
Deirdre Martin.
While trying to keep his retired hockey star brother out
of the kitchen, Anthony Dante has turned his restaurant
into a Brooklyn institution. But the stunning Vivi
Robitaille is giving him some competition with her new
bistro. The table is set for a culinary war-until things
start getting spicy.
