About this product
Product Information
"I loved every moment of this book . . . Everyone deserves their own Edward--and everyone deserves to read this book." --Susannah Cahalan, bestselling author of Brain on Fire When Isabel meets Edward, both are at a crossroads: he wants to follow his late wife to the grave, and she is ready to give up on love. Thinking she is merely helping Edward's daughter--who lives far away and has asked her to check in on her nonagenarian dad in New York--Isabel has no idea that the man in the kitchen baking the sublime roast chicken and light-as-air apricot soufflé will end up changing her life. As Edward and Isabel meet weekly for the glorious dinners that Edward prepares, he shares so much more than his recipes for apple galette or the perfect martini, or even his tips for deboning poultry. Edward is teaching Isabel the luxury of slowing down and taking the time to think through everything she does, to deconstruct her own life, cutting it back to the bone and examining the guts, no matter how messy that proves to be. Dinner with Edward is a book about love and nourishment, and about how dinner with a friend can, in the words of M. F. K. Fisher, "sustain us against the hungers of the world." "A rare, beautifully crafted memoir that leaves you exhilarated and wanting to live this way. Edward is a marvel of resilience and dignity, and Vincent shows us that the ceremony of food is really a metaphor for love. The key is to live your life generously." --Rosemary Sullivan, author of Stalin's Daughter "Isabel Vincent delves deeply into matters of the kitchen and the heart with equal and unabashed passion . . . Rich with description of meals savored, losses grieved, and moments cherished, it's at once tender, revealing, and utterly enchanting!" --* Gail Simmons, judge on Bravo's Top Chef and author of Talking with My Mouth Full "One of the most stylish and emotional works of nonfiction I have ever read. I savored every page." --Bob Colacello, author Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up "Although the food (I am partial to the roast chicken, lovingly described) is excellent, it is the charming and effortlessly wise company that makes this sweet read a charming way to pass a day." --George Hodgman, New York Times bestselling author of Bettyville "Delightfully combining the warm-heartedness of Tuesdays with Morrie with the sensual splendor of Julie and Julia. This is a memoir to treasure." -- Booklist, starred review

Reviews
"Vincent's descriptions of food, written with the sumptuous detail of a restaurant review, are something to savor, as are her recollections of Edward himself and the way he dedicated himself to living after having lost the love of his life. Delightfully combining the warmheartedness of Tuesdays with Morrie with the sensual splendor of Julie and Julia, this is a memoir to treasure." --Booklist , starred review "In Dinner with Edward, Isabel Vincent delves deeply into matters of the kitchen and the heart with equal and unabashed passion. Rich with description of meals savored, losses grieved and moments cherished, it's at once tender, revealing and utterly enchanting!" --Gail Simmons, judge on Bravo TV's Top Chef and author of Talking with My Mouth Full "This is a book full of life lessons, a reminder that no matter how old we grow, we still have much to share, and to learn." --Library Journal "Over mouthwatering dinners, an odd couple--a nonagenarian and a recently divorced reporter--engage in a series of discussions, from the importance of beauty, to living after loss, to the power of love to redeem and renew, to how to make a succulent duck breast. I loved every moment of this book . . . Everyone deserves her own Edward--and everyone deserves to read this book." --Susannah Cahalan, bestselling author of Brain on Fire "Life-affirming, with no soppy sentiment. We all should have an Edward . . . [Vincent] does share a few of his cooking secrets. The one for flawless scrambled eggs (I tried it, with great success) is alone worth the price of the book." --Toronto Star "[A] beautiful, passionate love story--wholly platonic--about two people whose lives are have undergone change, but who learn how to adapt and truly appreciate and reconnect with life again through the comfort of food, recipes and each other. Isabel Vincent's rich, perfectly paced narrative is served with as much wonder and gratitude as the deliciously conveyed indulgence of each satisfying, lingering meal." --Shelf Awareness "Food lovers will swoon from the first chapter . . . It is easy to fall deeply for Edward's tender heart as Vincent learns how he has savored his life, and over time, begins to create a life that's more inviting and full for herself. Readers will finish the book satisfied, yet wanting more." --Publishers Weekly "A rare, beautifully crafted memoir that leaves you exhilarated and wanting to live this way.

I savored every page." --Bob Colacello, author Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up , "[A] sweet memoir. With each roasted chicken and apple galette, Edward teaches Vincent not only how to cook, but how to savor life." -- RealSimple.com "[Edward and Isabel] meet weekly for gourmet dinners--roast chicken, perfect martinis, soufflé--and grow closer as each copes with loss (his wife's death, her divorce). It's Tuesdays With Morrie for fans of Julie and Julia." --Departures "A delightful story . . . It might be Isabel's growly hard-news background that keeps this book from becoming sweet . . . the book doesn't go soft. She tells the good, the bad and the difficult, all with an unsentimental but deeply empathetic understanding of Edward, his beloved wife, their nearly 70-year-marriage and his new, diminished life . . . The book is a fast, light read, but it is made poignant . . ." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "Life-affirming, with no soppy sentiment. We all should have an Edward . . . [Vincent] does share a few of his cooking secrets. The one for flawless scrambled eggs (I tried it, with great success) is alone worth the price of the book." --Toronto Star "Vincent's descriptions of food, written with the sumptuous detail of a restaurant review, are something to savor, as are her recollections of Edward himself and the way he dedicated himself to living after having lost the love of his life.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
