According to a famous Italian proverb, 'You can't rule your heart', but perhaps it could also be said that 'You can't rule your taste.' That food is more than a means of nutrition, that it also involves the spheres of culture, feelings and emotions is a widely held opinion. Food is conviviality and passion and for this reason the relationship between alimentation and emotions is very close, and sharing the joy of a meal with the people you love is one of the many ways of expressing these feelings, of strengthening and reinforcing ties of affection. This title is for couples in love, for Saint Valentine's Day, for Mother's or Father's Day, or for any special occasion.
