she taught, wrote, and consulted. After moving to Denver, Colorado in 1976, she created a cooking
school that became the largest in the state. In 1981 she began a nearly five-year stay in Europe, teaching,
researching food history, and working with chefs, home cooks, scientists, folkorists, historians, and the
culinary artisans still producing traditional foods in the old ways.
Today, Lynne is the host of the nationally broadcast radio show The Splendid
Table with Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Public Radio's food pragram and winner of
the 1998 James Beard Award for Best National Radio Show on Food.
