Isabel goes to Edward’s apartment on Roosevelt Island once a week to share his multi-coursed, all homemade dinners, primarily French-inspired, begun by martinis “ice-cold, dry and crisp.” Everything is just so--Edward does not skimp on ingredients, insists on just the right steak, just the right oysters, just the right wine to accompany each course. When Isabel brings a gift wine, most often Edward puts it in his wine cellar if it is not a near-perfect fit with his dinner. Some readers might find him a bit of a food snob, of course, but more, he is a food artist, concerned with every aspect of food’s preparation and presentation. The author explains, “Edward was neither a snob nor an insufferable foodie. He just liked to do things properly.” The reader’s mouth waters over lovingly described meals with hearty soups garnished with fresh herbs, homemade pastas and sauces, and desserts such as popover flambé, topped with apricot jam and cognac. Despite each chapter opening with a menu, there are no recipes here per se, just a few pointers regarding pastry and scrambled eggs. This is a bit of a disappointment given that "foodoirs" (memoirs about food, especially ones that include recipes) are among my favorite things to read. I also wish the book could have been a little bit longer. Still, it is a delightful blend of memoir, biography, food writing, and life lessons. Like Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie, it's a book that makes you think about the things that matter in life: love, family, and making the most of the time you have. Maya Jama puts on a VERY leggy display in dazzling silver gown as she attends the Sabina Bilenko Couture Christmas party Jennifer Lopez is fierce at 54 as she shares 'first of many' album covers for new release This Is Me...

MAFS UK star Mark Kiley claims he was left 'unemployed and single' after appearing on the show as he brands it a 'Love Island rip-off' Serena Williams cuddles newborn daughter Adira and says 'this makes me so happy'... after tennis champ admitted she's 'not okay today' I cringed a couple of times when Isabel vented about "men", and that she didn't want anything to do with them again. I'm not sure if she intended for the reader to feel the nuances of her remark, or was truly unaware of the ageism in it. After a "certain" age, people lose visibility. Losing one's gender is actually disheartening, which the young in this world of politically correct "gender neutral" wouldn't understand. An elderly man continues to be a MAN, perhaps frailer, greyer but still wants to be considered a MAN. Women suffer from the same invisibility, pooled into the greyscale with men. Isabel's remarks pointed out her insular life experience, and how much Edward's insights had jump started Isabel's growth.

Edward enjoyed writing poetry, making furniture, and was a gourmet cook. He and Isabel enjoyed his fabulous meals, accompanied by perfectly chilled martinis and wine. Edward had a gift of enjoying life to the fullest--from making new friends to baking perfect apricot souffles. Edward told Isabel that he was grateful that Isabel had come into his life at a critical time. "We gave each other the courage to go on with our lives. We were equally giving and receiving in that period, which was crucial to you and me."
