Who do you think has better culinary options, vampires or werewolves? 

Well, since vampires don't eat, werewolves would seem to have better culinary options. In Love at First Bite, I make sure there are plenty of Team Jacob culinary treats, such as Werewolf Chow, Wolf pack Waffles, and Jacob Black's Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Sprinkled in Love at First Bite, are food quotes from the Twilight Saga books. Edward says, “I wasn't hunting for food. I was actually trying my hand at tracking. I'm not very good at it.” For that quote I have an Irritated Grizzly Bear Steak recipe. I also have for the Team Edward fans, I Dare You To Eat Pizza, Edward, Butterscotch Eyes (Bella says Edward's eyes are the color butterscotch, it is a dessert with butterscotch pudding and little teddy grahams), as well as Vampire Blood Punch, and Edward's Thirst Quencher.

"Twilight" fans looking for an extra fix of Bella, Edward and Jacob, will likely appreciate the book.

Where the book shines is in its ideas for "Twilight" party planning, trivia games and movie cast lists. These are the nuggets fans will love.

Gina Meyers (1994) wrote Love at First Bite: The Unofficial
Twilight Cookbook, which has been sold worldwide and brings together Twilight lovers of all ages and cooking skills.

While the cookbook includes dozens of Twilight-themed recipes, Meyers said it “is not really about cooking, it’s about bringing people together.”

She added that the cookbook aims to “reignite a spark of imagination in the kitchen, and to bring people of all ages back in the kitchen cooking and exploring life and opportunities.”

It’s awesome, duh

For the entirety of my life, my mum, Gina, has been cooking and writing, writing and cooking. To her, food is love. She writes unique themed cookbooks — she’s done an unofficial Twilight cookbook, Love at First Bite, and an unofficial Harry Potter cookbook, From Muggles to Magic. Her culinary ventures have had a deep impact on me — I’ve developed a passion for food, writing, and people.
