Capri Restaurant, on Abbot Kinney in Venice, is holding a special dinner Sunday. Alona Cooke’s menu will feature recipes from Anna Thomas’ new book, “Love Soup.”

From 3 to 5 p.m., Thomas will give a short talk, sign copies of her book and offer a tasting of food from it. Then, at 5:30, Capri will offer a three-course menu highlighting some of Thomas’ recipes, including fig and lemon peel tapenade and kabocha squash soup.
