Okay, you must not read "HUNGER!Open in new Window. & "MEHR HUNGER!Open in new Window. to know that I'm a Foodie.*Hungry* I absolutely love to cook and bake. *Delight*

This will be a huge element in my novel, too. *Idea*

Food serves so many purposes beyond survival and shut up a rumbling stomach: *Heart*

- culture (Your Prot's / Anta's (family) background, his origin when he's somewhere else)
- unites (Friends & family come together and share or reconcile, etc.)
- comforts (no explanation necessary, eh?)
- facilitates bonding, like between estranged friends/family or lovers (in the making)*Angelic*

And since Vince is (at least half) Italian & Laura a cooking / baking buff, who loves to eat herself*Angelic*, it would be a SIN to not exploit this for world- and word-making.*Idea*

There will be a lot of

- Italian food, also from the Alp region of South Tirol (where Vince's Nonna is from), some
- German food (from Laura's side), some
- Pumpkin (after all it's fall - really and in the novel*Wink*), and some
- Fast Food (healthy because handmade).*ThumbsUpL*

And poor Laura will have a lot of time for cooking and baking (in Vince's kitchen OR helping in his grandparents' restaurant, like making pasta with Nonna Stella) as Vince is bound at work.*Sob*


So will you use the advantages of food in your stories, too?*Hungry*
