Culinaria L'amore by Infatuated

(Code 2522633 or read by clicking on the external link)

Overview:

"Kirsten, you have some frosting on your mouth." He muttered softly, his gaze not moving from my lips. I could feel my heart flutter under my dress, and as I stared into his grey eyes surrounded by the long eyelashes I adored, I swore that I could see something like hunger in his eyes. Hunger for something other than food. Kirsten Bellini thought she had her whole life mapped out. After graduating high school, she planned on remaining a chef at her father's small restaurant, L'amore, and maybe, just maybe, fall in love if she found the right man. Garrett Bianchi didn't care what would happen in his life. He only knew one thing for certain. Love was a bitch and it hurt, even more than skinning a finger on the cheese shredder, which happened often, being the son of famous chef and culinary instructor, Robert Bianchi. When they first meet at the funeral mourning her father's tragic death, Kirsten and Garrett could have appeared to be more opposite, other for their shared love of cooking. But who knows? After all, there sometimes can be a love stronger than the love of food.

Questions about the author...

When did you start writing?

The first time I seriously started writing books would have to be in sixth grade after reading Twilight. Needless to say, I have some vampire book drafts I'd rather forget about.

How would you describe your writing style?

Well, one of my best friends calls me a description whore. I think that's sufficient.

Which song describes who you are? What’s your favourite verse?

Uh, maybe Sara Bareilles' Brave? Maybe just because I absolutely love her music haha. "Say what you wanna say, just let the words fall out. Honestly, I wanna see you be brave"

What’s your biggest inspiration in life?

Cheesecake brownies

Who are the special people in your life?

My family, most def.

Questions about 'Culinaria L'amore'...

What inspired you to create a character like Kirsten and Garrett?

Uh, well. I dunno really. It all just comes from my imagination.

What do you think is unique about your story?

Honestly, now that I look back at it (it was writing two years ago), not much...? And that's such an awful thing to say.

Tell me something which nobody knows about Garrett and Toben.

Uh should I make something up off the top of my head? If this is an insinuation that they were once in a relationship, hell to the no's. They're just best friends. (remind me who Toben is? jk jk jk)

One sentence to describe the friendship between Alonzo and Angela.

Alonzo and Angela are probably the weirdest couple you will ever meet - complete horn dogs.

What trait of Garrett can you most relate to?

Okay, I honestly don't remember a lot from that book. Is that a really bad thing to say? Aha, maybe his desire to be able to cook brownies?

Which trait of Kirsten do you most like?

Her resilience. Especially with dealing with her father's death and almost closing the restaurant.

Have you used any of your own experiences in the book?

Culinaria L'amore is definitely completely based off of my imagination, but some of my other books, not necessarily posted on Wattpad, are based off of some events.

Which section did you most enjoy writing and why?

Uh, I'm also a genre whore. I write mainly teen fiction, romance, and mystery, but I have several ideas for paranormal.

Is there a message in your book that you want your readers to understand?

Hard work pays off.

One word to describe your book:

Old.

A message to your fans:Thank you to those of you who have stuck around, despite my absences!

Bonus questions...

What happens to the twins, Robert (Robby) and Rosemary (Rose)?

Well I haven't really thought that far but they will make an appearance in my upcoming story, Basket Boy.

Why do Alonzo and Angela never have children? Their kids could have been best friends with Robby and Rose, maybe even a childhood romance could have emerged.

Dude. Kids would ruin their sex lives.

Did you realise that both of the twins have the same name as one of their grandparents i.e. Robby has the same name as Garrett's father and Rose has the same name as Kirsten's mother? Why did you name them with these names?

Because of the influence of Kirsten and Garrett's parents on their lives.
