    Grotto or Sage for overnight in Boston?

    Becco update

    Looking for food lit that discusses two people becoming close friends because of their shared love of cooking or eating food

    The non-romantic part is tough. But you might look at Cooking With Fernet-Branca, the Booker award finalist by James Hamilton-Paterson. Food acts almost as an unreliable narrator of the novel.
