I remember when I was around 12 I learned about the three A's for the first time: asparagus, artichokes, and avocados. I think I tried all three for the first time in the same year, and they've been favorites of mine ever since.

The cover sure is sexy, isn't it? I think the book is a great way to catch people's attention about the great potential for involving great food in romance, and I hope people will benefit from being reminded of this prior to Valentine's Day.
