 Great Cookbook October 18, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Even for an experienced cook, this book is great, with nice detail and good tips along the way. Quotes throughout are fun too. The quick chicken cacciatora was terrific, and the shrimp salad with Green Goddess dressing outstanding, just right for summer evenings, tho I'll use the Green Goddess dressing all year. Will be buying for friends for Christmas.
As good as the show! October 13, 2008

I got this book for my husband's birthday and it's as wonderfully delicious as the show. We listen every week to Lynn's great show and wait for her stories and recipes. Now we can have Lynn in our house anytime we want, day or night!
A great gift - for yourself or someone else. October 7, 2008

My brother-in-law is a magnificent home cook. He's also a tough to impress and very much a critic of food writing (since he consumes so much of it in his quest for perfect new recipes), so I wasn't too sure if this book would work for him or if he'd just cast it aside.
Since he cooks for us so much, I bought this for him as a thank you. I am so glad I did. He made us the macaroni right of the bat. It was amazing. He then called me a few days later to tell me that he was now 4 recipes into it, and each one had been fabulous.
I love Lynne's radio show, so I am delighted that this book is a success for her and is so well-reviewed here. She deserves it.
 Horrible Graphic Design October 5, 2008
8 out of 18 found this review helpful
I love the Splendid Table show, and listen each week. I was looking forward to the recipes in this book. However the graphic design is so overwhelming and distracting that I couldn't even FIND the recipe on most pages. There are huge quotes and unrelated tips on every page, in colors and font sizes which completely overwhelm the actual content of what is, after all, a cookbook. Every time I opened the book I felt assaulted and confused, and closed it without learning anything about how to cook dinner, or anything else. I borrowed the book from the library to see if it was worth buying, and have decided that no, it isn't.

I have been reading cook books and cooking for over 63 years - this book is filled with fresh new cooking tips and recipes. I am still learning. Usually, after purchasing a cookbook, I am disappointed and, if I am lucky find maybe one good recipe.
