Reviews'Part short story collection and part recipe book, Jocelyne Rapinac delivers an innovative debut. Essentially, the book comprises of twelve short stories, one for each month of the year, that are connected by a focus on food and love, with accompanying recipes for dishes mentioned in each chapter; something like a culinary soundtrack to the book. The stories themselves deal with love in all its forms but arguably the collection is more a love letter to food ... [Rapinac's stories] deal with larger issues such as globalisation, human connection and obesity that make them fables for modern life.' NEW BOOKS MAGAZINE 'How often have you read a book where a meal or a dish is so exquisitely described you think how nice it would be to give that a try? I'll definitely be trying some of these, so many of them seem to be easy to follow, simple but delicious too.' FRENCH VILLAGE DIARIES 'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this great, feel-good novel; filled with cooking and eating delicious, beautifully prepared food; sad love break-ups and joyful make-ups. All the ingredients I could wish for.' ANNE RAMPTON 'Your heart will sing and your mouth will dance with joy at this book of yummy pleasure.'
