Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Life in the city, love, and unforgettable meals — can a food writer find happiness with a man who has an empty refrigerator? Amanda Hesser's irresistible book is the tale of a romance where food is the source of discovery, discord, and delight — a story of universal desires: good food, great company, and a mate. At each stage of her courtship — from her first date with "Mr. Latte" (a near-disaster) to her first uneasy dinner at his parents' home, from intimate suppers in her Upper West Side apartment to his first attempt at cooking for her — Amanda supplies menus for the meals they share: more than one hundred well-balanced and well-seasoned recipes that will leave you satisfied yet wanting more. With warmth and honesty, Amanda shares her feasts and foibles, triumphs and near-misses, tense encounters and good times in the kitchen and beyond. Her humorous, sensuous tale leads us date by date, recipe by recipe, to a jubilant conclusion. Review:"Charming and smart." New York Times Book Review Review:"A totally lovable book, a kind of Bridget Jones for foodies." Irene Sax, Epicurious.com Review:"Tender, wry, passionate, truthful.

F. K. Fisher." Nina Willdorf, Boston Phoenix Review:"Recipes, restaurant critiques, and food lore — all agreeably season New York Times food writer Hesser's beguiling story."
