Set a “Splendid Table”

I have enjoyed listening to Lynne Rossetto Kasper’s “Splendid Table” radio program (from American Public Media). She offers great insights of cooking that are not generally provided on the TV cooking shows. Listening to her program is like sitting in on a class in a culinary school.

The program’s website has links to allow you to listen to past shows. There are also links to recipes and other good stuff. One of the best pages is called “Boiling Water 101” and includes a list of articles where Lynne “answers culinary questions on everything from how to brine a turkey to recommendations on storing fresh herbs.” She has articles on Equipment - Ingredients - Techniques - Miscellaneous.
