Make every meal a feast and every moment with loved ones an occasion with Come for Dinner
"Before chefs became philosophers, trendsetters, and TV stars, there was Leslie Revsin, a cook whose instinct for flavor is matched only by her sense of nurture. She has never stopped cooking from the heart, and I have never stopped wishing I could cook just like she does every night of the week. Now that she's written a book, I can."
-Molly O'Neill, host of the PBS series Great Food and author of the New York Cookbook
"The food revolution continues: simpler, less fussy, more delicious dining. With this great new book, Leslie Revsin is leading the charge!"
-David Rosengarten, Editor-in-Chief, The Rosengarten Report

Dining at home offers the timeless pleasures of great food and good company. Yet knowing how to make simple, stylish meals that are also fun to prepare is a challenge for anyone with a busy schedule. In Come for Dinner, former Waldorf-Astoria chef Leslie Revsin presents some of her most treasured recipes–150 dishes with the warmth of a casual supper and the elegance of a special-occasion dinner. In page after page of enticing hors d’oeuvres, delicious salads, satisfying main courses, and eye-catching desserts, she shows how to capture the comfortable, festive flair of entertaining friends, family, and lovers of good food.
Brimming with recipes that are both deliciously familiar and sparkling with imagination, Come for Dinner shows how to make mouthwatering dishes for every palate, including Thai-Style Halibut with Lime, Scallions, and Crushed Chiles; Browned Asparagus in Buttery Lemon Sauce; Mexican Tortilla Soup; and Feta Cheese with Tahini and Walnuts. Recipes for Caesar Salad with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Filet Mignons with Gorgonzola-Porcini Butter, Mini Meat Loaves, and Baked Acorn Squash with Rosemary-Garlic Butter illustrate the author’s unique touch with traditional favorites. Luscious creations such as Little Chocolate Spice Cakes with Strawberries and Warm Mocha Sauce and Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies with Macadamia Nuts show how to bring a sumptuous meal to a memorable end.
Helpful preparation tips (like how to dice onions and shallots, pit olives, make garlic paste, and store ginger) and "do-ahead options" for saving time make preparing both casual and formal meals entirely feasible, whatever your schedule. As a bonus, the book also includes two large sections of varied menu suggestions, with practical tips on everyday entertaining. With sixteen pages of exquisite full-color photographs to inspire any home cook and delicious, heartwarming recipes on every page, Leslie Revsin’s Come for Dinner celebrates her time-tested, simple rule for culinary success: "Truly good food can only be made with love."
