Author: Meredith Phillips

Combining her expertise on relationships with her lifelong love of cooking, this celebrity author brings to the table 25 three-course menus that are simple enough for a weeknight yet elegant enough for a candlelit dinner for two. Urging couples with jobs, children, and endless to-do lists to set aside one night of the week to dine together without distractions, this cookbook makes it fun to stay home and prepare an easy appetizer, a quick-to-fix main dish, and a tempting dessert, each a fresh twist on a classic recipe and all of them inspired by a California-style attention to readily available ingredients and seasonal produce. Photographs also show the author preparing the recipes and provide close-ups of the finished dishes.
