It only takes a few days for Ollie D'Angelo to lose his boyfriend, his job, and his home. Instead of mourning what he doesn’t have, Ollie celebrates what he does: the freedom to pursue his real passion—cooking. He begins Dinner at Home, a home-catering business, and it takes off.
Late one night, Ollie catches Hank Mellinger, a streetwise hood down on his luck, about to rob his car. Ollie soon discovers that appearances aren’t necessarily what they seem. Hank isn’t a criminal caught red-handed, but a hungry young man trying to make a life for himself and the four-year-old niece he’s trying desperately to take care of.
Instead of calling the cops, Ollie offers Hank a job and a way to pull himself up by his bootstraps. Together, they discover they can really cook... and that their shared passion for food just might lead to a passion for each other.

Damn it Goodreads! I want half stars! *shakes fist*Rating 1.5 stars, rounded to 2.It's time to let the reign of bitchiness continue. Dinner at Home should have been a slam dunk for me. I'm a foodie and God knows I love books with food involved. However this book? Um....Please, I need to know! H...
Good read, but nothing spectacular. I liked it though and the recipes were nice.
Dinner at Home, the book, creates the same feeling of contentment in the reader that Dinner at Home the business portrayed in the book tries to create in its customers. It is warm and cozy and fulfilling. Everything one expects from a Rick R. Reed novel.Ollie D’Angelo loses his boyfriend of one year...
~ Review by PaisleyDon’t expect a light and easy story. It is not. The characters are troubled, and at times have some really serious shit going on both in their pasts and in the present. Despite some of the interesting road blocks and diversions I found the journey to be a pretty entertaining one.O...
