Laura Patterson is a visiting student in Rome studying Art History. After several disastrous dates with Italian men she swears that the next man she's going to date is going to be a cook.
Tommaso Massi tells her he's a chef to impress her, and he has the patter, however thats because he's a waiter at an exclusive restaurant in Rome. His best friend Bruno helps him with the deception, mostly because he likes Laura and wants to show her how much.
Yes it's a Cyrano de Bergerac and there are times that it falls a bit flat but overall it's quite a readable story. After I got past the first few chapters it flew. I'm looking at the recipies included at the end and wondering about trying them...
