The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper: Recipes, Stories, and Opinions from Public Radio's Award-Winning Food Show

This is a cookbook that reads more like a novel then a list of ingredients. Its a wonderful and fun concept. The recipes are great. I'll never buy salad dressings again after seeing how easy they are to make.

a true winner...typefaces are kinda hard to decipher, but contents will appeal to all good homecooks.

I have been looking for a cook book that would offer great recipe ideas and have ingredients that I could find in a regular grocery store. I found it all in this wonderful book! Apart from the fantastic selection of recipes, you will find plenty of practical information and quirky bits of trivia that just makes this book fun to use!
I have had the book for a couple of weeks now and already I have gone through most recipes - they have all been a hit, even with my picky kids. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys food but cannot spend all day looking for ingredients and cooking. You'll find the recipes easy to follow and the results spectacular!

I am a regular listener to The Splendid Table, have been for quite a few years. I have also cooked out of Lynne's original book, The Splendid Table. I bought this cookbook after hearing her do the 450 degree oven bit on the show.

There are a lot of nice recipes and good information in the book, but I can't recommend it. It is very overproduced. There has to be at least one text box per page. The hints aren't given enough context. It is sort of like listening to the show but WITHOUT all the great depth of knowledge that you get out of the interviews. The references to stuff learned on the show seem to be very surface.

Sorry Lynne, but that's my view.

I love this no nonsense and flavorful cookbook. I appreciate that the theory or thinking behind these recipes is given and that you are given the tools to improvise. I have made some of the best soup ever and I am so thankful for the "almost homemade" stock recipes as it has freed me from making my own (I know that this wasn't what Lynne and Sally intended, however). My kids are now roasted veggie junkies and I love my fish sauce. The book does tend to make you a Splendid Table groupie (you can podcast all the episodes FYI) which isn't a bad thing.
