We first meet Isabel when she is talking with her her friend, Valerie. It is shortly after the death of Valerie’s mother and she is worried about her father, Edward. He is alone in New York in the apartment that he shared with his beloved wife, Paula. She lives too far away to visit him regularly. Isabel has just moved to New York to work as a reporter. She is struggling with a marriage that is unraveling and it’s impact on her young daughter. When Isabel tells Valerie that things are not going to well in her life either, Valerie suggests that she have dinner with Edward. She tells isabel that he is a very good cook and perhaps this would help him. The first and biggest problem is that the relationship is just too contrived. Both are so self absorbed they seem incapable of genuinely caring for someone other than themselves. When she wasn't whining about work or her relationship with nameless ex-husband number 2 she was chronicling each menu item prepared by Edward in a gratingly detailed and elitist way. (If she didn't go into this relationship planning to write a book how did she recall in such excruciating detail the first several meals he prepared five years prior?)

So, I loved Dinner with Edward because of all the mentions of food. However, I also love it because of the writing, the story and the characters.

She wants success and he craves fame and adulation. She has authored a few books and works as an investigative reporter for a popular New York tabloid and he's a guy with various talents who never reached the limelight.

The best I can say is that it's mercifully short.
