Eat Your Heart Out
Love Stories from around the World
'Peta crafts a story like no other and her titles "tell it like it is".' - Wairarapa Times-Age
In a world of hate, let’s serve up some love . . .
Peta Mathias has encountered many a lovelorn tale on her gastronomic travels around the world. Searching further, she has unearthed more stories — the heart-warming and heart-rending, the passionate and poignant, the macabre and merry — and in these retellings brings them all to life.
With her characteristic wit and colour, she also dishes up many of the ingredients of love:* intriguing courtship rituals, such as bundling and the apple slice dance;* poetry penned by those with their own stories to tell;* and, of course, romantic recipes, purported aphrodisiacs and alluring delicacies.
Entertaining, hilarious and informative, this book is a smorgasbord of love.
