The Splendid Table

I have discovered a wonderful new radio show that is on public radio in Nashville, but not around here- THE SPLENDID TABLE. If you are a foodie at all, which I consider myself to be, then this is a show for you. You can download the podcasts for the Splendid Table from itunes, which I have begun doing.

If you enjoy food-talk and new recipe ideas then Lynne Rosetto Kasper can be your favorite new radio personality. You may also recognize that she is the inspiration for the SNL skit where Alec Baldwin is a guest on a call-in radio food show peddling his "Schwetti Balls" (meatballs). Absolutely hilarious. Back to the subject though- Lynne seems to have a food encyclopedia stored in her brain that she can access at anytime. She takes calls from listeners with questions ranging from, "what are preserved lemons and how do you make them?" to, "what kind of appetizers should I serve at my new restaurant in France?". Amazing...and you know, she gave pretty great answers to both of those questions. Lynne also has guests on with her discussing recipes, regional foods, drinks, anything that you can think of food-related.

The SPLENDID TABLE... a must listen!
