Try some different fonts. The D is lost and looks too much like the o's next to it. fooo lover?
How about combining the heart shape (which already looks a bit like a chefs hat) and the chefs hat, into one shape? A chefs hat thats shaped like a lovers heart.
Also the spoon is much more indicative than the knife.
Try bending the text upwards on the ends to create a bit of a "smile" who knows, it might work.

Thanks Mick will see
