'I love, love, love Lizzy Dent.' Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author
One restaurant. Two rivals. Things are about to get steamy.
When Olive Stone and her Italian chef father fell out fourteen years ago, Leo Ricci slipped right in as his surrogate son and sous-chef. So now, after her father's death, no one is more surprised than Olive that he left her his beloved (but failing) restaurant. Or that his dying wish was for Olive and Leo to run the business and complete his cookbook... together.
As they (begrudgingly) embark on a four-week research trip across Italy, they'll test each other as often as the recipes. Olive wants to sell the restaurant entirely. Leo's determined to stop her.
But the more time they spend together, the more delicious Leo begins to look to Olive... Because he isn't who she expected, and this trip might just rewrite everything she thought she wanted.
A steamy, summery, enemies-to-lovers romance that will sweep you away to Italy. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Portia Macintosh and Phoebe Macleod.

'I love, love, love Lizzy Dent.' Emily Henry
(Emily Henry)'Follow Lizzy Dent to Italy and you will smell the oranges, feel the sunshine and taste the first perfect kiss. Just One Taste is a deliciously romantic and emotional exploration of love and loss, with Dent's signature humor and sense of fun. Five big stars from me.'
(Annabel Monaghan, national bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script)'Dent's cozy, slow-burn romance is a heartfelt journey through Italian cuisine and culture. Readers will delight in the rich descriptions of food and dream of a summer holiday in Italy.'
(Booklist)'If you're a foodie and love vivid detail in writing, Just One Taste by Lizzy Dent is the book for you. You'll fall in love with the characters, most of all.'
(New York Post)'Dent easily balances rom-com tropes with grief. J ust One Taste doesn't shy away from examining Olive's complicated feelings while also indulging in some lighthearted fun. Leo and Olive have serious chemistry that simmers slowly on the back burner as they explore Italy, and the lush descriptions of simple foods like tomatoes, cherries, and oranges will make readers want to book a trip (or at least book a reservation at an Italian restaurant). A delightful, sexy summer read for foodies.'
(Kirkus)'In vivid prose, Dent brings the Italian countryside to life while building a simmering attraction between her leads. Hopeless romantics looking for an armchair vacation will want to check this out.'
(Publishers Weekly)' Just One Taste had all the things I liked so much in The Summer Job: bubbly writing, a sense of humor, a dreamy setting, and page-turning chemistry.'
(Eater)'In Just One Taste, Lizzy Dent serves up a delightful mix of romance, self-discovery, and seriously mouthwatering food descriptions—because yes, the love story is delicious, but so is the way this book captures ambition, second chances, and the quiet longing for something more. With humor and heart, it's the kind of read that feels indulgent in the best way.'
(Camille Styles)'Brimming with glorious landscapes, delectable food, charming leads, and emotional depth, Just One Taste delights.'
