Book Reviews of The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper: Recipes, Stories, and Opinions from Public Radio's Award-Winning Food Show
Book Review: Satisfying and Quick Meals
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Lynn Rosetto Kasper (even though I always think her middle name is Risotto). Her efforts to support local organic agriculture are terrific and the depth and breadth of her knowledge about food is amazing. She loves a good story to go with her meals and to entice the reader. Little introductions to the recipes provide humor and extra motivation to the chef/working mom's out there with brains who need a smart & interesting boost at the end of the day knowing that the recipes will inevitably take a little extra time, but provide a way more satisfying experience. In my mind, that is the perfect cookbook for a working cook, one that is a little funny, a little smart, that motivates you even when you want to sit down, and rewards you with a thoroughly delightful result. This cookbook is no different from her others, but except for its intention to allow you to make dinner after work without being too time consuming.
I have only tried a couple recipes so far and adapted one for another meal. In each case the meal was as advertised, simple and made reasonably quickly. My family so far has loved each one. That is a home cook's best praise.
My only complaint is that the style & size of the type-face throughout the book is changed to "add interest" I suspect. But it ubiquitous & over the top, only serving to make it hard for me to quickly browse the contents when trying to select a meal to make. I would suggest that future editions omit most of the high impact typesetting and thereby help save the reader even more time by limiting its distracting quality.
