Food For Thought: First Course

by Nancy DeRosa

Overview

Emma Craven's four single friends join her at the table in their quest to find love, self-respect, and, above all, great food. Emma and Murry's Grill chef Gary Parker have much in common. He loves to cook, she loves to eat--a match made in heaven. Or so Emma thinks at the onset until trouble arrives. Gary's former girlfriend comes back on the scene, reed thin and confident, and wanting him back. Gary's rejection shakes Emma's belief in herself, making her question what she has to offer in a relationship. Determined not to become a bitter and disillusioned harpy like her boss's wife, Emma decides to get over Gary and move on with her life. But that's easier said than done, especially since every new man she meets and every bite of food she eats reminds her how much she misses the handsome, charismatic chef.

Editorial Reviews

A charming story, with likeable and realistic characters that you easily get attached to. Toss in some laugh out loud moments and some quirky moments that will keep you smiling with the hit and miss romances and you have a great recipe for a story that will stay with you for a while. My only complaint is with all the food that is served in this book, I was hungry constantly. I'm already mapping out new restaurants." ~ Cyrene Olson, Uncaged Reviews

I especially liked the fact that Emma isn't a gorgeous bombshell. She's a little overweight, insecure, and very realistic. The story is cute, clever, and funny, the characters unique and charming.

It's rare to see an author with the courage to create an overweight, insecure heroine instead of a tall, willowy, beauty. I found it refreshing and, along with a strong plot, realistic and delightful characters, it makes for a great read.
