The Splendid Table
The Splendid Table is a culinary, culture, and lifestyle one-hour program that celebrates food and its ability to touch the lives and feed the souls of everyone. Each week, award-winning host Lynne Rossetto Kasper leads listeners on a journey of the senses and hosts discussions with a variety of writers and personalities who share their passion for the culinary delights.
The Splendid Table tours new culinary territory, from the vineyards of Provence to the city-street diners of Philadelphia. While doing so, host Lynne uncovers hidden delights like dandelion petal sorbet, and offers her modern take on getting food to the "splendid table" with cooking tips, recipes and her own personal advice.
Lynne's guests share a diversity of insight and remembrances. Legendary filmmaker Ismail Merchant (Room With a View) shared his passion for curry while cooking for his cast and crew members. Polar explorer Ann Bancroft revealed the vital role food plays in Artic survival. A coffee buyer explained the issues behind free trade coffee.
Guest experts, authors, and chefs add to the listener experience. The ongoing explorations of Jane and Michael Stern, authors of Gourmet Magazine's "Two for the Road" column, chronicle their relentless quest for the unique dining experiences that take them around the world and off the beaten path. And each week, listeners are invited to call Lynne with their questions. |
