Dear reader: This is not a cooking book with recipes. This is a book about cooking, with ideas for picnics, breakfasts, lunches or dinners to create together with someone special.The purpose of this book is to spark ideas for playful, meaningful moments around food. It's for those who want to connect deeply without relying on restaurants throughout the dating journey.If you come from different cultures, the fusion is inevitable, and so is the fun.Every dish in these pages was made, styled, photographed, and savored with love. I hope that passion inspires you too. Carmen Vega-Reina
