Cooking for Mr. Latte: A Food Lover's Courtship, with Recipes (Paperback)

"Tender, wry, passionate, truthful. To read Hesser's prose is to hunger for more." —Nigella Lawson 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. 42 b/w illustrations. About the Author A food reporter and columnist for the New York Times since 1997, Amanda Hesser wrote the award-winning cookbook The Cook and the Gardener. She lives in New York City.
