In an apartment on Roosevelt Island, reluctant inhabitant Isabel Vincent feels cut off from the buzz of New York. With her marriage barely intact, daily life has taken a mundane and lonely turn. But when a friend tells Isabel about her father's struggle after the death of his wife, she is deeply moved by the story of their marriage. Intrigued by Edward, she agrees to have dinner with him to keep him company. Their first meal together sparks a series of magical evenings filled with lively conversation and fine home-cooking. Over glorious apricot souffles, succulent herb-roasted chicken, hot apple tarts and gin martinis to finish, a unique friendship begins to blossom and thrive. Edward doesn't just share his exquisite recipes and culinary tips: he inspires Isabel with his extraordinary wisdom and lust for life, imparting to her the importance of slowing down to pause and reflect. Both moving and uplifting, Dinner with Edward raises a glass to the power of simple pleasures and the surprising connections formed in times of hardship.
