Public Can Meet Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Host of ‘Splendid Table,’ at June 20 Book Signing in Boise

BOISE – Lynne Rossetto Kasper, host of the popular public radio food show Splendid Table will be in Boise June 20 for a dinner to raise funds for Boise State Radio. Tickets are available at http://radio.boisestate.edu.

Kasper will also be signing copies of her latest cookbook, “How to Eat Supper,” from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. that day at Berryhill, 121 N. 9th Street in downtown Boise. Vista Books will have copies of the book on hand and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Boise State Radio.

“One of our objectives is to be more involved in the community,” said Associate General Manager Hy Kloc, “and one of the ways Boise State Radio strives to meet that objective is to bring public radio personalities here to allow our listeners to meet the ‘voices’ that they listen to every week and have come to consider a part of their life. If you’re into cooking, there’s no one better that Lynne Rossetto Kasper.”

Splendid Table is heard at 4 p.m. on Saturdays on NPR News 91. The show was named “1999 Best National Radio Show on Food” by the James Beard Foundation, and “2000 Best National Syndicated Talk Show” by American Women in Radio and Television. Kasper’s advice column, “Ask The Splendid Table,” is distributed by Scripps Howard News Service and her cookbook, “The Splendid Table,” is the only book to achieve the food world’s twin crown: Cookbook of the Year awards from both the Julia Child/IACP and James Beard Awards. Named “One of the 12 Best Cooking Teachers in America” by The James Beard Foundation, Kasper also lectures on food and culture in Europe and America.
