Editorial Review: Product Description: 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Satisfying and Quick MealsI love Lynn Rosetto Kasper (even though I always think her middle name is Risotto). Her efforts to support local organic agriculture are terrific and the depth and breadth of her knowledge about food is amazing. She loves a good story to go with her meals and to entice the reader. Little introductions to the recipes provide humor and extra motivation to the chef/working mom's out there with brains who need a smart & interesting boost at the end of the day knowing that the recipes will ... Read More Rating: - Creative CookMy daughter bought The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper after listening The Splendid Table podcasts and wanting a book based on Lynne Rosetto Kasper's and Sally Swift's recipes and recommendations. I loved the book so much that I bought one for myself. The book has loads of pictures and many recipes are enhanced with variations and advice. In fact, the book is just plain fun to read! The menu suggestions on the inside of each cover will give your everyday suppers more pizazz and make company ... Read More Rating: - Delicious and inspiringI received this book from my girlfriend, who knows how much I love Lynne's show and collecting cookbooks. I am usually skeptical of books written by media personalities (e.g., nearly everyone on the Food Network) because the books are almost always hyped and are no more special than cookbooks written by others. A pretty face does not always a good cookbook make. Many others have commented on the book's layout and design, so I'll focus on the recipes contained within the book. Most of the ... Read More Rating:  - Practical AND inspiringI work full time and cook for my husband and me. It is important to me to cook healthy meals and I am willing to purchase quality ingredients although my budget is limited and I hate waste (buying a jar when I need a quarter cup of a rarely used ingredient, for example). Once in awhile I'll cook an elaborate meal, but my preference is for meals that can get on the table with less than a half hour of my time and rely mostly on staples I can keep around. So far I LOVE the "Warm white bean salad with fragrent ... Read More Rating: - Great CookbookEven for an experienced cook, this book is great, with nice detail and good tips along the way. Quotes throughout are fun too. The quick chicken cacciatora was terrific, and the shrimp salad with Green Goddess dressing outstanding, just right for summer evenings, tho I'll use the Green Goddess dressing all year. Will be buying for friends for Christmas.
