Late one night shortly after the funeral, she makes her way down to the kitchen and pours all of her grief and anger into the only outlet she has left--her passion for cooking. In a frenzy of concentration and swift precision, she builds layer upon layer of thick, rich lasagna, braids loaves of yeasty bread, roasts plump herb-rubbed chicken; she makes so much food that she winds up delivering the spoils to the neighbors in her tight-knit Italian community in South Philadelphia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRetiree Basil Cupertino, who has just moved in with his kindly sister across the street, is positively smitten with Angelina's food. In a stroke of good fortune, Basil offers Angelina (not only husbandless but unemployed) a job cooking for him--two meals a day, six days a week, in exchange for a handsome salary. Soon, word of her irresistible culinary prowess spreads and she finds herself cooking for seven bachelors--and in the process discovers the magical power of food to heal, to bring people together . . . and maybe even to provide a second chance at love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFilled to the brim with homemade warmth, \u003ci\u003eAngelina's Bachelors \u003c\/i\u003eis a sweet tale of overcoming grief, redefining family, and following your heart--through food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brian O'Reilly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallery Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.26h x 5.34w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451620566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2011 pg. 92 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/22\/2011 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eO'Reilly, Brian:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eBrian O'Reilly\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and producer.
