Colorful, Spicy, Romantic Book Brings to Life the Magic of Argentine Cuisine and Culture More than a cookbook, Cook Like a Latin Lover introduces readers to Buenos Aires and the lifestyle of a Latin lover from an Argentine s point of view. Author Marina Mellino has written more than a cookbook. Cook Like a Latin Lover is a tool kit that offers readers a glimpse into a Latin experience through cooking, romance, dancing, and the love for life! She comments, My Nonna, who taught me everything I know about cooking, showed me that it’s not always about the food, but that food can taste so much better if there is a lot of love involved.
