About The Splendid Table
Welcome to the site! The Splendid Table Web site is a companion to the radio series, providing listeners and browsers abundant information on food preparation, appreciation, and culture.
How to Eat Supper
The Splendid Table gives public radio listeners a fresh take on their love of food, so it’s only natural that its new book follows suit – How to Eat Supper: Recipes, Stories and Opinions from Public Radio's Award-Winning Food Show. As they do on their weekly show, host Lynne Rossetto Kasper and producer Sally Swift approach food with attitude and originality, making How to Eat Supper a kitchen companion unlike any other. The cookbook not only contains delicious recipes, valuable tips and everyday culinary know-how, it introduces the people and stories that are shaping America’s sense of food.

Steve went on to create and revamp the cheese counters at Dean & DeLuca, the Fairway Market, Balducci's, and other celebrated fine-food shops in New York and across the country.
