This weekend marks The Splendid Table’s 20th anniversary show<\/a>. Lynne Rosetto Kasper launched the famous radio food show with a\u00a0conversation with Julia Child about the 4th of July\u00a0which you can listen to here<\/a>.<\/p>\n I am THRILLED to be included on the roster for this special show (talking about fresh cherries<\/a>), along with Mario Batali (talking about Italian vegetables<\/a>), with whom Lynne and I ate our way through Emilia-Romagna many years ago. (Now THERE are some tales of joy, including eating\u00a0fresh cherries on a balmy terrace at 3 am while drinking cherry grappa…)<\/p>\n Lynne is one of the best people on the planet, and has written one of the very best books on Italian Cooking: the seminal The Splendid Table: Recipes from Emilia-Romagna, the Heartland of Northern Italian Food<\/a>, among other also-great cookbooks<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It broke ground in its mix of scholarly and passionate rendering of the Italian region that is home to Parmigiano-Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma and Balsamic vinegar.<\/p>\n
