When someone first reccommended I read this, as a bloke I turned my nose up ! Why on earth, I thought, would I want to read what is so obviously a chick book? Finally persuaded by the apparent descriptions of Rome which I visited last year on honeymoon and the lush details of the cooking involved in the novel (I work as a chef so have a passion for food), finally I decided to give this book a go as so many people I trust were saying how good it was.

There were quite a few stickers and recommendations on the front of the book. “Richard & Judy’s summertime read 2005” said the first, but I’m not impressed by daytime television. “A fantastic story, you can almost taste the wonderful Italian food.” said Jamie Oliver, but that didn’t impress me either. Before you act on a recommendation you’ve got to respect the person who makes it. Then there was the bookshop’s “3 for 2”sticker. That convinced me I needn’t be quite so snobbish about my reading material. It’s another reworking of the classic Cyrano de Bergerac story: boy meets girl and asks his friend to help him win her heart. All goes well until the ...
