I loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti

This delightful little book made me so hungry for Italian food. As the author recounted her lost loves, I kept thinking that this story was really not going to end happily, thinking all the while i was reading a work of fiction. It is in fact a memoir with recipes. It was reminiscent of Julie & Julia (which I reviewed in an earlier entry). Giulia Melucci's I Loved, I lost, I Made Spaghetti, almost made me wish I had spent my young, single years in New York City. I'm hoping for a sequel, perhaps she'll call it: I Loved, I Married, I Baked Lasagna.
