April 5: Emilia-Romagna; Part 1 | Listen | Download
This week we have the first of two shows recorded in Lynne's beloved Emilia-Romagna. This is the region of Italy that Italians consider their culinary jewel, the land of prosciutto and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Lynne takes us behind the scenes as no one else can—into balsamic attics and kitchens of legendary country restaurants. She takes us to a town where people still set a place at table for the composer Verdi and his music spills out into the street.
Lynne's Go-To Guide to Emilia-Romagna takes us from a salumeria in Parma to a barrista in Bologna, stopping along the way for a pasta class and a visit with an eel fisherman. A Rustic Celebration Supper from the Hills of Parma and Piacenza features a menu and recipes for a casual celebration supper selected by Lynne.
Join us for this very special broadcast of intimate armchair travel with one of Italy's greatest fans, Lynne Rossetto Kasper.

April 19: Hawaii | Listen | Download
This week it’s a special one-hour program recorded in Hawaii. Aloha!
This week we're bringing you a special one-hour program recorded in Hawaii. It's a look at the food and culture of Honolulu and its island of Oahu that few tourists see. You won't want to miss this show.
Famed chef Alan Wong gets us started with a short history lesson, laying out the role immigrants played in the origins of island foods.
Then we're off on a whirlwind tour around the island of Oahu, sharing ideas for where to eat and where to shop along the way. We'll talk the local food revolution with farmer Dean Okimoto, visit the Honolulu Fish Auction, tour Chinatown with Joan Namkoong, author of Food Lover's Guide to Honolulu, and stop for shrimp and shave ice on Oahu's north shore.
Keona Mark tells how a native organization is taking taro beyond the infamous poi, and we'll eat from high to low. Along the way we gathered recipes to share, including Hamakua Springs Tomato, Beet and Avocado Salad from the legendary Alan Wong's Restaurant, and a Korean Marinade from Yummy Korean Barbecue in Honolulu's Makai Market.
April 26: The Wines of Spain | Listen | Download
This week we're taking you on a road trip, specifically a wine trip to the Galicia region of Spain. It was one week, one bus, four wine geeks and The Splendid Table. The job was to taste a minimum of 50 wines a day, and if you don’t think that is work, give it a try. Galicia and it's neighboring area of Bierzo are up and comers in the wine world, and this trip sure explained why.
