Tarta de Almendras con amor / Almond Cake With Love

Divertida, tierna, sabia, amorosa... Esta es una novela dulce que, sin embargo, no perjudica a las arterias ni afecta a la báscula, sino que hace adelgazar, como los alimentos de verdad, buenos y sanos. ¡Para comérsela entre risas de la primera a la última página! Fiona es una joven, huérfana de madre, que tiene problemas con la comida, no solo porque ella es la encargada de llevarla a casa y abastecer a su padre enfermo, sino porque la sección de precocinados ha sido su único salvavidas ante su prematura responsabilidad. Fiona tiene imaginación, pero también es realista, por eso la devora el temor a que los Servicios Sociales descubran la incapacidad de su padre y los separen. La comida basura es su manera de olvidar. No sabe cocinar porque tampoco sabe comer. Pero Fiona sí sabe amar. O por lo menos lo intenta: ahí está Alberto, el chico del que lleva toda la vida enamorada, que acaba de volver a la ciudad. La pena es que ha empezado a salir con Lylla, la íntima mejor enemiga de Fiona. Toda su vida parece truncada hasta que su tutora del colegio, la señorita Aurora, se empeña en invitarla a comer y le presenta a su tía Mirna, una cocinera a la antigua usanza, bastante chiflada, que le enseña que el principal ingrediente para cocinar postres exquisitos no es el azúcar, sino el amor. Y de eso..., de eso Fiona tiene grandes reservas. Junto con Fuet, una perrita abandonada, y sus amigos Max y Carmen, Fiona descubrirá nuevas emociones mientras emprende una aventura entre cacerolas que cambiará su vida.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFunny, tender, wise, loving ... This is a sweet novel that is not harmful to your arteries or the scales, but will instead make you slim down, like real, good, healthy food.Easy to devour between laughs, from the first page to the last!Fiona is a young woman whose mother has died, who has problems with food, not only because she is the one who has to bring it home and provide for her sick father, but because the ready-to-eat section has been her only lifesaver in the face of her premature responsibilities. Fiona has imagination, but she is also a realist, which is why she is consumed by the fear that Social Services will discover her father's disability and separate them. Junk food is her way of forgetting. She doesn't know how to cook, but she also doesn't know how to eat. But Fiona does know how to love. Or at least she tries: there is Albert, the boy she's been in love with her whole life, who just returned to the city. Unfortunately, he has started to go out with Lylla, Fiona's best frenemy.Her whole life seems interrupted until her teacher, Miss Aurora, insists on inviting Fiona over to eat and introduces her to her aunt Mirna, an old-school, slightly crazy cook who teaches her that the main ingredient in cooking exquisite desserts is not sugar, but love. And Fiona has plenty of that in stock.Along with Fuet, an abandoned puppy, and her friends Max and Carmen, Fiona discovers new emotions while she takes on a culinary adventure that will change her life.
