"I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti" Review & Giveaway

"I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti" Review & Giveaway – 5 Winners! (Ends 6/1)

The book “I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti” by Giulia Melucci is a must read for all women who love to eat! Not only does the book go through Giulia’s life of dating, but it has so many awesome recipes! The book is half-memoir / half-cookbook. Throughout the book Giulia goes through her romantic escapades and how she cooks for her dates. It is interesting how comforting food can be and how many problems it can solve! Her stories are funny, memorable, real, and comforting.

I found myself relating to her problems and laughing with her at her mistakes. Oh and the recipes the books include are all so mouth-watering. All the recipes seem to have an Italian base, and they range from easy to more complex. I was so impressed too with how creative she got with menu planning and it made me wish I was more creative in the kitchen. Whether you want this book to read and laugh or to just use the recipes, it is an awesome book!

“I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti” is a 288 page hardcover book that was released 4/8/2009. It is a quick read and after you read it, you can then use it as a cookbook!

Full Description from Hachette Book Group:

From failure to fusilli, this deliciously hilarious read tells the story of Giulia Melucci’s fizzled romances and the mouth-watering recipes she used to seduce her men, smooth over the lumps, and console herself when the relationships flamed out. From an affectionate alcoholic, to the classic New York City commitment-phobe, to a hipster aged past his sell date, and not one, but two novelists with Peter Pan complexes, Giulia has cooked for them all. She suffers each disappointment with resolute cheer (after a few tears) and a bowl of pastina (recipe included) and has lived to tell the tale so that other women may go out, hopefully with greater success, and if that’s not possible, at least have something good to eat. Peppered throughout Giulia’s delightful and often poignant remembrances are fond recollections of her mother’s cooking, the recipes she learned from her, and many she invented on her own inspired by the men in her life. Readers will howl at Giulia’s boyfriend-littered past and swoon over her irresistible culinary creations.
