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.
