review 1: OK, so I enjoyed the recipes/novel thing. I love food, I love to cook, so this worked for me. But this book was just too much like an AfterSchool Special (for you kids of the 70s/80s)...a sweet story, a little sappy, but shallow and not terribly well told. The characters just weren't terribly real; they were pretty much caricatures of themselves and not very well developed. Sweet story, but a really, really light read.
review 2: If this had had a long haired beau and a beautiful damsel on the front it would have been more appropriate as it belongs in the Mills and Boon section where it can be ignored by those who need reality or at least a brush with it. The whole story is so ridiculous I almost choked. Angelina loses her husband who meant the world to her ... moreand grieves for a whole day. I kid you not. Then she starts cooking and the guy across the road offers to pay her to provide breakfast and dinner. By the end of the following day she's cooking for 7 bachelors who all come every single evening and all get along perfectly and most fancy her. Oh PUL EASSSSSEEEE. Then she has a baby but is still able to carry on as though nothing has happened and open a restaurant. Which is of course a smash hit. No prizes for guessing the ending. Sigh. less
