At the end of several recipes the authors provide suggestions for how to use the leftovers in easy and different dishes during the week.
The recipes have wine recommendations with each, making this choice a little less daunting. Because, really, who knows what to serve with Chinese pork noodles? Until today, not me. Although the dishes are all from scratch and seem very time consuming, the authors provide time lines for cooking over the day or days in order to make life easy.
This is definitely a book added to my wish list. I can't wait to receive it, hand the kids off to hubby or the grands, and to lose myself in the kitchen.

The Splendid Table’s How to Eat Supper
For me they are very different fare from what I usually cook, but many sound absolutely delicious. Sep 20, Lindsey rated it it was amazing. It is as good as the first one, but with a more ethnic flair. There are about 3 recipes that are repeated in this cookbook from the first one, but I understand why they are repeated. Jun 17, Gordon rated it really liked it.
I always check out cookbooks from the library before buying. We made a wonderful shrimp sir-fry with a boat load of veggies tonight. It tasted fantastic and was a blast to make.
This book is called how to eat weekends because some of the recipes are elaborate but I hope I can renew this book so I can further explore recipes and will definitely add this title to my wish list. Jan 01, Ashley rated it it was amazing Shelves: Lots of delcious treats. Many require multi-staged preparation, hence the title, but there are lots of tips to make the preparation of these meals manageable.
Enjoyed the layout of the book and the presentation of the recipes in concept of a complete meal rather than simply a collection of dishes. Also enjoyed the explanation of each culture's rituals of taking a meal. Jan 13, Elizabeth rated it liked it Shelves: Sadly, I did not try a single recipe in this cookbook before I returned it to the library. However, I sure enjoyed reading and looking through it. I cannot wait to taste it with a bit of honey on the side. I yam what I yam. Apr 30, Therese rated it liked it. Dec 29, Liz De Coster rated it really liked it Shelves: Really does focus on weekend i.
Jan 11, Naomi rated it liked it. Definitely not for the novice cook. I walked away with a small handful of recipes. Nov 23, Joshua Herbert rated it really liked it. I just got this from the library, and I will definitely be adding it to my shelves. Sep 30, Sharon Wildfang rated it it was amazing. I enjoyed the commentary as much as the recipes! This might be the first cookbook I've read cover-to-cover. Lots of good recipes and explainers about techniques and ingredients. Dec 03, Laura rated it really liked it. Pretty much all of these recipes would take a while to make - but they are so worth it!
This is an excellent book to have on hand for parties and dinners with friends. So many cookbooks promise easy, everyday weeknight meals and then fail to deliver, presenting time-consuming recipes, impossible-to-find or expensive fresh ingredients, or all of the above. Not "How to Eat Supper. One person found this helpful. We used this book for a cook the book group. Applies to hardcover edition As we were going over it, we were skeptical because the layout, the fonts and font size changes and strange quotes made it unpleasant to read through.

My 12 year old made the corn chowder and was weirded out by the quote from Garrison Keillor comparing sweet corn and sex. However, the recipe results were all at least good and in some cases really good. We will certainly repeat some of our choices and make others.

One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful. Don't let the name put you off. A few basic ingredients elevate a bland albeit useful pantry staple into the secret flavor boost that pumps up everything from simple soups to complex casseroles. I need this on those freezing nights when you can't crowbar me from the house and my pitiful larder consists of a couple of chunks of cooked chicken, a handful of noodles or tortellini and a hunk of day-old bread.
Little else is required for chicken noodle soup or tortellini in wine broth. Or "Tuscan Soup Bowl" - a coarse hunk of toasted bread drizzled with olive oil and topped with a ladle of hot broth. Garlic, canned tomato, cloves, a bay leaf, dried basil, an onion - are things you already have. Start simple and build from there is the mantra.
Either way, it's nice to have options. This book has had many great recipes. They all seem to be geared toward actually being able to cook them on a weeknight. Most seem to take about an hour and everyone that I have cooked has been absolutely delicious. There are also a whole bunch of little side notes and stories about different food topics. If you like to listen to the splendid table you will really enjoy this book. The illustrations of the food are so wonderful that I practically wanted to lick the pages. The recipes are well written and I think that novice cooks as well as more experienced ones will find them easy to follow.
Most of the recipes come with variations on a theme or you might call the recipes more of a method and once learned, the cook can riff on it to one's heart's content. The stories are wonderful,too. I even like to read the opinions and boy, are there some opinions voiced in the book. The reader may not always agree but at least the opinions are well backed up. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves food and loves to eat.
Buy it and give it to your friends.

By the way I am not related to either of the authors but if they would like to adopt me or even cook a meal or two for me, I would not refuse! If you like cookbooks, or the history of cooking, read it. You won't be disappointed. It is filled with history, anecdotes, and fabulous recipes and variations. I am a dyed-in-the-wool listener to the Splendid Table's podcasts. The depth of LRK's knowledge is a formidable resource to cooks at any level of skill. I recommend this cookbook highly and suggest you go straight to the recipe for the Cuban Black Bean stew.
The dish, cooked just as it is written, is off the charts, a show stopper.

One criticism I have of the book: The graphics, while artistically attractive, make using the cookbook strained. A format such as the Silver Palette cookbook uses would have suited this collection better. I look forward to more from LRK and Swift. See all reviews. See all customer images.
