An Edge in the Kitchen

My interview with Lynne Rossetto Kasper on The Splendid Table is now available online. It aired 8/22 and 8/23 (depending on your local public radio station). You can listen on The Splendid Table’s website. Just click the link above. If you have RealAudio installed, here’s the direct link to the audio. Or if you are an iTunes subscriber, I’m on the Saturday 8/22/08 episode. My interview comes at the 22:25 mark. I thought it went very well. Lynne is just as warm and gracious as she sounds on the air.

Sara Moulton, executive chef of Gourmet magazine, author of Sara’s Secrets for Weeknight Meals, and host of Sara’s Secrets on PBS, has written a very kind review of An Edge in the Kitchen on her website.

My favorite line:

A lot of knife wisdom served with a splash of wit and a sprinkle of trivia make this a book you’ll want to read from cover to cover as well as to prop up by your knife block.

I interviewed Sara for the book. She’s a real sweetheart and a lot of fun to talk to. I can tell you that Sara’s Secrets for Weeknight Meals is one of the most dogeared, wine stained books in my collection. My kids have loved everything I’ve made from it. Stop by Sara’s website to say hi, tell her she has great taste in knife books and check to make sure your local PBS station is carrying her show.
