Just when you thought the last thing the world needed was
another book on weeknight cooking, along comes an entirely
fresh take on the subject. As they do on their weekly show,
host Lynne Rossetto Kasper and producer Sally Swift approach
their topic with attitude and originality, making The
Splendid Table’s How to Eat Supper one of the most engaging
cookbooks of this or any other year. As loyal listeners know, Lynne and Sally share an
unrelenting curiosity about everything to do with food.
Their show, The Splendid Table, looks at the role food plays
in our lives—inspiring us, making us laugh, nourishing us,
and opening us up to the world around us. Now they have
compiled all the most trenchant tips, never-fail recipes,
and everyday culinary know-how from the program in How to
Eat Supper, a kitchen companion unlike any other. This is no mere cookbook. Like the show, this book goes far
beyond the recipe, introducing the people and stories that
are shaping America’s changing sense of food. We don’t eat,
shop, or cook as we used to. Our relationship with food has
intensified, become more controversial, richer, more
pleasurable, and sometimes more puzzling. How to Eat Supper
gives voice to rarely heard perspectives on food—from the
quirky to the political, from the grassroots to the
scholarly, from the highbrow to the humble—and shows the
essential role breaking bread together plays in our world. How to Eat Supper takes you through a plethora of inviting
recipes simple enough to ensure success even if you’ve never
cooked before. And if you are experienced in the kitchen,
you’ll find challenging new concepts and dishes to spark
your imagination.
