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.

Summary: Our New Favorite Cookbook!
Comment: This is the first (and only) cookbook we've ever had which is as much fun to read as a fast-paced, well-written novel...plus, it has great, color photos! If you're a fan of public radio's "The Splendid Table", you will love this cookbook. If you've never had the pleasure of listening to Lynne Rosetto Kasper spin culinary gold from the straw of everyday ingredients, "How to Eat Supper" will probably get you to tune in to your local NPR station and enjoy the show. We have made quite a few of the dishes from this cookbook already, and each one was an unqualified success. The recipes are clear and easy-to-follow. Many, if not most, feature alternatives where, with the change of a few ingredients, you can re-invent the dish for a new taste experience. The tips scattered throughout the book are excellent and useful for cooks of all levels. I can't think of one way to improve upon this cookbook...unless it is to receive it as a gift rather than buy it. "How to Eat Supper" is a must for anyone who likes to cook...or eat.

Summary: Delicious and practical
Comment: As a huge fan of the Public Radio show I was delighted when this book came out. Rossetto-Kasper is a practical enough cook to know that supper is often a hurried affair, often involving a bag of Fritos. The recipes are easy to prepare and easy to upgrade. My most-used recipe is the cheater's version of homemade broth, which starts with canned chicken or vegetable broth to which you add white wine, herbs and spices and aromatics. This versatile broth is used in any number of dishes to good advantage. I also enjoy the taste tests including canned tomatoes, canned chicken broth, etc. This has become a staple of my collection in under two weeks.

Summary: More than a cookbook
Comment: This cookbook is better than it sounded on the radio. The recipes are imaginative and quick, the food tips are informative and off-beat and the style is personal and breezy. I've enjoyed this new cookbook enough to buy extra copies for gifts.
