Cooking for Mr. Latte

She's a foodie. Can she find love, happiness and a good meal in New York? Cooking for Mr. Latte by Amanda Hesser is her memoir of her relationship with food and her courtship of her future husband. When they first meet, she is dismayed by his ordering a Latte as an after dinner drink. (Apparently that is not hip - who knew?) She has found that food can be a make or break thing in her relationships. She is a New York Times food writer and restaurant critic after all, and food plays a big part of her life. Will this blind date guy last?

Join Hesser on her adventure, and in the meantime we discover more about her work, her friends, family, the food culture in the U.S. and we get a view of the growth of a long term relationship in 21st century New York.

Not just for foodies. Great for fans of Sex in the City and ChickLit too. And some good recipes as well. A fun read.
