Come for Dinner: Memorable Meals to Share with Friends - Hardcover

You should be so lucky that a chef of Leslie Revsin′s caliber would ask you to COME FOR DINNER. If you took her up on the offer, you′d find yourself partaking of some of the 150 recipes she shares in this book–a collection of stylish dishes that combine comfort food sensibility with plenty of contemporary sizzle. It′s the kind of food you get when someone with Revsin′s background and inventive cooking skills (the first woman chef hired at the Waldorf–Astoria, she′s now an ace food writer) tackles what is nominally meant to be home cooking, If you run a casual dining restaurant you′ll find plenty of items you′ll want to plug into your menu the next time it′s due for an upgrade. Or sooner. (Restaurant Hospitality, December 2003)

Why eat alone when you can invite friends? That′s Leslie Revsin′s message in Come for Dinner. With dozens of plan–ahead tips and a whole section of do–ahead dinners, she strips the pressure from cooking for guests. Recipes emphasize ease but never skimp on flavor: It′s almost scandalous that a dish as uncomplicated as Vegetables with Ginger Butter should taste so good, And Revsin′s Orzo with Roasted Tomatoes & Hot Sausage was quite possibly the tastiest dish I′ve made this year.
