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.

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."
