The Food of Love Cookery School is Nicky Pellegrino’s latest lip-smacking novel, celebrating food, friendship and amore in the luscious setting of Sicily. We joined Pellegrino for a specially crafted three-course Italian menu lifted from the pages of her novel, with a complimentary glass of Crossroads wine at Auckland Italian institution Toto.
Introduced by Sarah-Kate Lynch.

The food and wine were excellent,the compere and speaker were both superbly entertaining. But problems with the microphone and the very slow service.were disappointing as was the decor in that awful downstairs basement space..I believe the Festival should be seeking a partial refund from the restaurant. It wasn't good enough.
