Events of the Library Foundation of Hennepin County show

Summary: For more than twenty years, Lynne Rossetto Kasper has been recognized as one of America’s leading food authorities, commentators, and cultural historians. Her national radio show, The Splendid Table, is a staple of American Public Media. Her first cookbook, The Splendid Table, is the only book to receive The Cookbook of the Year Award from both the Julia Child/IACP and James Beard Awards. Now with her third book, How to Eat Supper, Kasper goes far beyond the recipe and standard cookbook by exploring the people and stories that shape America's changing sense of food. Examining rarely heard perspectives on food from the quirky to the political from the highbrow to the humble, Kapser shows the essential role breaking bread together plays in our world. Tom Crann, host of Minnesota Public Radio's All Things Considered, and Sally Swift, co-author and managing producer of The Splendid Table, join Kasper on stage for this delicious edition of Talk of the Stacks.
