THE Shuttle/Times and News has teamed up with Time Warner Books to offer a new prize for our weekly crossword competition.
Part of Richard and Judy's Summer Read 2005, The Food Of Love by Anthony Capella is set in Rome.
American Laura Patterson is there studying art history and, as she is a beautiful blonde, she is getting a lot of attention.
She's dazzled by the warmth and vibrancy of the Eternal City, but not so overwhelmed by the men she meets. She wants sensuality and romance but she gets wolf whistles and drunken groping.
Most of all she wants to experience Italian food at its best - so she decides she will only go out with a man who can use his hands in wonderful and creative ways such as cooking!
The book is divided up into courses, "Antipasto", "Primo", "Secondo", "Insalata", "Dolci" and ends with "Ricette", which are recipes for many of the dishes in the book.
