Then imagine sitting down to a dish of Hot Caramelized Pears with Prosciutto, a Risotto of Red Wine with Fresh Rosemary or a Pie of Polenta and Country RagĂ The first American book to present the food of this singular northern region, The Splendid Table is an Italian cookbook for the nineties. It will take you from Parma, Bologna, Modena, Ravenna, and Ferrara to tiny villages in the foothills of the Apennines, from Renaissance banquet halls to the simplest of farmhouses, offering history, folklore, and substantive cooking tips along the way.

 Rating: - Voluptous and lucious; a feast for the sensesThis cookbook was written to be enjoyed by many different types of readers. Cooks with some experience in the kitchen will find ways to venture deeper into this specific region of Italy. While there are plenty of recipes to sharpen their skills, there are many recipes with only a handful of simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions that will produce outstanding and encouraging results for those with less experience. While this is by no means a cookbook dedicated solely to the health-conscious, the author offers genuinely viable alternatives to some of the richer ingredients while not compromising the integrity and essence of the original recipe. Additionally, while there are recipes designed for the adventurous with more time and greater access to specialty ingredients, a great number of recipes are made with everyday ingredients found in any large suburban grocery store. One of the things that sets this cookbook apart (and by no means the only thing) is that it not only gives you the tools to prepare a feast for your tastebuds, it is a sensual feast for the eyes and imagination. It is interesting and visually pleasing enough to serve as a coffee table book, although it may become too marked up with olive oil and garlic to remain there for long. For those who enjoy eating but not necessarily cooking, there is enough here to inspire them to try their hand in the kitchen - or to hunt down a family member or friend who is a willing to create something for them! The stories and explanations about the influence of history and geography that are included with many of the sections and the recipes therein helps Emilia-Romagna and its people come alive on the pages. If someone is already a fan of Lynne Rossetto Kasper, either by way of her other cookbooks or her NPR radio show by the same name as this book, this is a must-have volume. It is written in the intimate and friendly style so enjoyed by her many fans. If you already own an embarrassingly large number of cookbooks (like me!) buy this one anyway even if it means donating another to the library to make room on the shelf. I recommend pouring yourself a glass of red wine, curling up on your favorite chair, and spending an afternoon daydreaming about the people and food produced among the sunny plains, hills, and mountains of this unique region of Italy. You'll find it nearly impossible to remain uninspired! Rating: - A treasure chest of recipesAlthough the recipes take time and concentration the effort is rewarded with supurb eating. Entertaining with this cookbook is enjoyable not only for the guests but also the cook. This has a permanent spot in the cookbook library. It is interesting to see how many of my friends also keep The Splendid Table in the front of their libraries. {Often stained with sauce}. Rating: - One of the Best Italian Cookbooks Ever!Before there was a food show available every minute of the day on TV, passionate American cooks learned how to cook at their local cooking school. For many years, before her popular NPR radio show (also called The Splendid Table) went on the air, Lynne Rosetto Kasper was one of the most beloved teachers on the circuit. I saw her teach many times, and I still use her tips and recipes. (For example, soak raw onion slices in a little vinegar or water to remove their sharpness in salads.) This book was published in 1992, so it didn't benefit from online bookstore sales, and the fact that few people have reviewed it shows how it got lost in the shuffle. If you are a fan of Giada and Mario, make room in your bookshelf for Lynne, who really raised the bar for Italian cooking in this country. These are not fast-and-easy recipes, only incredible dishes with depth of flavor that you rarely see anymore in cookbooks. I have fond memories of the Jam Tart, the vinaigrette with sauteed shallots and garlic, and the long-simmered ragu. It is one of the very few books that has won both IACP and James Beard awards for Cookbook of the Year (akin to winning the Oscar and the Golden Globe for Best Picture). Three words: Buy This Book. Rating: - Try the Tortellini RecipeThis book is the real deal! Truly authentic. Just like my Nonis cooking. Try the tortellini recpie and cookem in Chicken broth, en brodo! You will die and go to food heaven!
