From the first sentence I could tell this book was filled with life, originality and a love for cooking. As cookbook author Miriam Levy tries to decide between a low-fat and regular cheesecake the story of her life unfolds in all its vibrant detail. If you start to get hungry while reading this book, the recipes have all been included at the end of the chapters. When she travels to Malaysia with Kate McGrath we even learn how to make macaroons.

Cooking for Love has the flavor of a reality TV show and moments of warmth that seem so genuine, you will keep turning the pages to find out what happens next. There are innumerable twists and turns that make the story very unpredictable.

Sharon Boorstin’s energetic writing style is infused with witty remarks and secret thoughts. As Miriam Levy is falling into her change of life stage, she seeks solace in the adventures of her best friend. As she escapes from an avalanche of family situations, she runs straight into the arms of danger itself.

If you love the Bridget Jones series or adore books with recipes and delicious descriptions of sexy recipes, then this book will find a way into your heart. I found myself laughing and generally more amused by this novel than I have been in a long time. The choices the characters make seem to enhance the fantasy elements and while Kate’s adventures are not explained in detail, Miriam Levy has some passionate dreams and sensual longings. Contains a few erotic twists and is at times a feast of reality itself. At times it is so real, I forgot I was reading a novel.

Looking forward to reading: “Let Us Eat Cake.” This authors writing style really appeals to me because it is infused with energy and decadent descriptions.
