  The tale of a romance where food is the source of discovery, discord and delight, this is 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 Hesser supplies menus for the meals they share: more than 100 well-balanced and well-seasoned recipes that should 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.
