Publisher Description

The Splendid Table is a one-hour culinary, culture, and lifestyle program that celebrates food and its ability to touch the lives and feed the souls of everyone. Each week, The Splendid Table tours new culinary territory, from the vineyards of Provence to the city-street diners of Philadelphia. While doing so, host Lynne Rossetto Kasper uncovers hidden delights, and offers her modern take on getting food to the splendid table with cooking tips, recipes, and her own personal advice.

Guest experts, authors, and chefs add to the listener experience. The ongoing explorations of Jane and Michael Stern, authors of Gourmet Magazine's Two for the Road column, chronicle their relentless quest for the unique dining experiences that take them around the world and off the beaten path. And each week, listeners are invited to call Lynne with their questions.

"I love this cookbook. My mom bought it when it first came out and I read it cover to cover. She then gave me my own copy for Christmas. The pictures are beautiful, the recipes are amazing and the stories told are truly wonderful. My favorite is the Fried Deviled Eggs. "

    " I adore Lynne Rosetto Kasper's The Splendid Table podcast, and enjoyed this book in much the same way - less as a cookbook of recipes in the traditional style, and more as a source of inspiration and knowledge about food, seasonings, herbs, etc. An excellent read! "

    " I realize that this is a cookbook, but it is also a fascinating read. The authors have put a lot of thought into the quotes and stories that they tell around the recipes. The recipes themselves are a work of art and I love to read this book! "

    " This is really a fantastic cookbook. The recipes are delicious and easy to make. It truly enlightens on the subject of food. The quotes and antidotes add spice and humor. And the type design is brilliant. BUY IT and ENJOY! "

    " I never understood the concept of a dinner salad until I read them in this book. It was a hit at a potluck dinner party recently. This book gives different rifts on a recipe, so you're free to improvise as much or as little as you want. "

    " I really like many of the recipes, especially the pesto risotto. The page design is a little too chaotic for me though. "

    " Great recipe, beautiful book. Interwoven with interesting food facts, stories and history. Plus, most recipes come with little variation guides-- a great way to learn a recipe/technique and then mix it up based on season or taste. Solid, simple, nice to read. "

    " I made the Sicilian Corkscrews with White Beans using whole wheat pasta which I am lukewarm about and without the optional tuna. Turned out very tastey! Going to try Sally's Coconut Macaroons next. May have to buy this book... "
