As you can see from the photo above, I've never met a design or cookbook I didn't like..... My parents came through town last week bringing with them this latest find of books I have been (and with their help too) slowly acquiring up at their home in CT. I seem to have this problem of not being able to walk away from books when I'm at a library sale, estate sale, or thrift store. This group represents just a fraction of the number of books I have collected. I tend to be drawn to any Martha Stewart title, a variety of noted restaurant/chef cookbooks, and any sort of period decorating.
The video attached below is of cookbook author and radio show host Lynne Rossetto Kasper of The Splendid Table (a title included in my photo above). She is a guest on Julia Child's cooking show, making Sunday Night Pasta With Balsamic Vinegar. I look forward to listening to Lynne's radio show every Saturday afternoon on NPR.
