This is definitely my kind of book - historic fiction, set in Renaissance Venice, main character is a chef's apprentice, lots of food discussions, what was there not to like?

This is one of those books that left me feeling lukewarm.

This book is not going to happen for me. If I had more than one day off, I would give it more of a try, but as it is... no. :(
