Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.
Throughout the centuries food and love have been forever entwined and poets have often used this theme to great effect, with verse that plays on the connections between the two. Almost every famous poet has, at some time in their life, pondered over the link and sentiment of eating and loving and today it is no different.
This collection of poetry, Food for Her Heart: Poems of Romance, again touches on the theme with a range of entertaining poems that explore our love of food and our love of one another.
Poems like the endearingly appreciative Breakfast in Bed, or Pasta of Apology for that day when you didn’t quite get it right, or even taking you right back to the very beginnings with First Date in Mexico.
However food came to feature in your relationship, you’ll be sure that there will be a poem that will stir your memory of it and how it came to play such an important and charming part of your relationship.
