She suffers each disappointment with resolute cheer (after a few tears) and a bowl of pastina (recipe included) and has lived to tell the tale so that other women may go out, hopefully with greater success, and if that&#8217;s not possible, at least have something good to eat. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Peppered throughout Giulia&#8217;s delightful and often poignant remembrances are fond recollections of her mother&#8217;s cooking, the recipes she learned from her, and many she invented on her own inspired by the men in her life. Readers will howl at Giulia&#8217;s boyfriend-littered past and swoon over her irresistible culinary creations. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">~*~*~<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2458\" title=\"InMyWords\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/InMyWords.png?resize=220%2C40\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"40\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti is a roller-coaster ride through Giulia Melucci\u2019s love life, mental gymnastics and kitchen cupboard. With each culinary creation as inspired by its romantic escapade, Melucci passionately energizes her relationship status while \u2018dishing\u2019 out the details.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The thread of leaping from one relationship to another has resulted in a book that is as much an interesting gastronomic journey as it is a trip through the world of dating in the big city.<\/p>\n<p>I am often amazed and pleased when reading a memoir, how honest and forthright an author is to opening up and sharing the varying emotional chapters of their life through a book filled with intimate details and insights. Authentic and organic come to mind when we peer into the world of another and then like a car crash, see something we know we shouldn\u2019t, but are compelled to keep looking.<\/p>\n<p>Giulia Melucci\u2019s whirlwind, if frantic trip through the romantic world is one such memoir. From the brief sketches of her tony publicity world to the slog of dating, she tries obsessively to fit square pegs into round holes even as glaring red flags go up for the readers (the beauty of being the outsider looking in). The passage of one relationship to another is offset by the comfort food she provides.<\/p>\n<p>An unabashed Italian with a flair for the dramatic and spices, Melucci serves up raw information with biting, sarcastic wit aimed more at her string of broken relationships than herself and her choice to pursue them. However, a maturity sets in toward the end of this debut novel as the author recognizes and finally voices, <em>\u201cWhile I\u2019ve struggled with relationships, cooking has been a fairly consistent source of satisfaction.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The reader goes along with Melucci for a variety of dates, one-night stands and relationships from long-term Ethan, who seemed as good a fit as much for his love of the kitchen as his good-nature, to accomplished novelist Mitch and the much-older, tortured Marcus. In fact, Marcus has the reader scratching their head asking, \u201cWhat was she thinking?\u201d Yes, she does too, and that\u2019s where the \u2018here it is and I know it, but I\u2019m going to share it anyway\u2019 attitude gives the reader an appreciation for what she goes through. It also provides some familiarity for anyone who has embarked on a search for a meaningful partnership only to enter into an inappropriate one despite the Red Threat Level warning.<\/p>\n<p>Good sport, and friend Ginia, dispenses advice, emergency dating diagnoses and a shoulder to cry on as Melucci steers through her dating scene. Humorous anecdotes are peppered throughout this book while tales of family life also feel the sting of Melucci\u2019s assessments. Through it all, you connect with a vague acquaintance of her wistful search and struggle continuing to cheer her on. Not surprisingly, her dishes vary in complexity reflecting the status of her state-of-mind as much as her current or lack-thereof, boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p>From Ethan who inspired \u2018Risotto with Intricately Layered Hearts\u2019 to the obvious \u2018F@#k You Cupcakes\u2019 for Marcus, a bevy of tempting recipes almost make the reader look forward to Melucci\u2019s next experience.<\/p>\n<p>Her culinary conquests appear as unscathed as her relationships are doomed. I tried the \u2018First Date Butterflies\u2019 dish (created for Mitch) with tuna and farfalle and never knew a simple can of tuna could be transformed into such a tasty treat!<\/p>\n<p>As a side note, some of the details both about family, boyfriends and dips into drugs are sharp and not for the faint hearted. But I have come to value this honesty in a memoir as what keeps the book real, relatable and readers turning the pages.<\/p>\n<p>Still, this is a poignant, hip memoir that can be appreciated for its wit, self-deprecating manner and recipes as much as its honesty and details, Melucci provides an authentic voice to her sometimes questionable romantic liaisons, decisions and attempt to find Mr. Right while pouring her energy into dishes that will satisfy where her relationships do not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #003366;\">8  (Very Good) <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat-Level: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">0  (None) <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[starrater tpl=10 style=&#8217;christmas&#8217;]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2786\" title=\"Helena\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Helena.png?resize=540%2C148\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"148\" \/><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-3953\" data-postid=\"3953\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-3953 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti Author: Giulia Melucci Publisher: Grand Central Pub.
