About The Splendid Table
Welcome to the site! The Splendid Table Web site is a companion to the radio series, providing listeners and browsers abundant information on food preparation, appreciation, and culture.
How to Eat Supper
The Splendid Table gives public radio listeners a fresh take on their love of food, so it’s only natural that its new book follows suit – How to Eat Supper: Recipes, Stories and Opinions from Public Radio's Award-Winning Food Show. As they do on their weekly show, host Lynne Rossetto Kasper and producer Sally Swift approach food with attitude and originality, making How to Eat Supper a kitchen companion unlike any other. The cookbook not only contains delicious recipes, valuable tips and everyday culinary know-how, it introduces the people and stories that are shaping America’s sense of food.

Lynne Rossetto Kasper has won numerous awards as host of The Splendid Table, including two James Beard Foundation Awards (1998, 2008) for Best National Radio Show on Food, three Clarion Awards (2007, 2008, 2009) from Women in Communication and a Gracie Allen Award in 2000 for Best Syndicated Talk Show. Lynne is a respected authority on food, having published three bestselling books: The Splendid Table, The Italian Country Table, and The Splendid Table's How To Eat Supper, which was co-authored with producer Sally Swift in 2008.
