About this ebook
In this enticing follow-up to their first book, Lynne Rossetto Kasper and Sally Swift, host and producer of The Splendid Table public radio show, celebrate Saturday and Sunday—those two days of the week when the pressure is off, time becomes your ally, and you get to slow down and dig into cooking in a different way.
In The Splendid Table's How to Eat Weekends featuring 100 recipes, Lynne and Sally take you on escapades for a deeply pleasurable experience. They want you to head to different neighborhoods and markets, gather up ingredients, and embrace new cooking techniques and flavors that will carry over into your everyday meals. They include backstories about the rituals and reasons behind particular dishes (such as why lettuce figures into southern Chinese New Year celebrations) and take you deep into the aromatic aisles of ethnic markets and neighborhoods.
Here are the recipes for weekends, when you can enjoy the journey of cooking rather than just the destination. The recipes are accessible and their directions easy to follow whether you're a rookie or more experienced in the kitchen. Begin a meal with Rice Paper Rolls of Herbs & Shrimp or Mahogany-Glazed Chicken Wings. Try Scandinavian Broth with Scallop–Smoked Salmon Drop Dumplings; Barley Risotto with Saffron, Corn & Chives; or Sichuan-Inspired Pickled Vegetables. Main courses include Yucatán Pork in Banana Leaves; Timbale of Sweet Peppers, Greens & Hominy; and Leg of Lamb with Honey & Moroccan Table Spices.
Readers will also find lots of variations and ideas for leftovers in "Work Night Encores," expert wine pairings, and musings—plus the stories, quips, and history that Splendid Table fans have come to love. The Splendid Table's How to Eat Weekends in an essential addition to any cookbook shelf.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this, and recommend it to anyone who is interested in marketing strategies. If nothing else, read chapter 9 on data mining. It's fascinating and very disturbing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you buy things, read this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A real eye opener to the way Marketeers-online, and off use neuroscience to target behavioural advertising at us to make us buy.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Nothing too new or surprising here. Lindstrom is a little too fond of the expression "more than you can imagine." I can imagine plenty, when it comes to marketing, and my deeply cynical imaginings are rarely wrong. So, yeah- you are being marketed to every second of your life, unless you live in a cabin in the unspoiled woods. Speaking of the unspoiled woods, I thought a lot about Ma Ingalls while I was reading this- I wonder who marketed what to the pioneers, and what brands were popular, and why. I know there are brand names scattered through some of the other period fiction I've read, but offhand, I don't remember any from the Little House series.
The writing here is pedestrian and the concepts interesting but familiar. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was an interesting read, all about how we're persuaded into buying things. How a company makes easy links for us to choose products and then encourages us to unthinkingly go along with their choices. It asks us to look at our habits and decide if we're happy being led or whether we should question it. One of the most interesting chapters was at the end where he talked about the experiment he and some others did with a family, the Morgensterns, where they were brand ambassadors for products and where, when they were advocating green products other people listened, saying that it is important what brands you advocate to your friends and family and to be mindful of it.Yes we have free will, but we have to be willing to use it.It calls for us to be a little more mindful, and maybe to play games with the marketing types. That we're being watched for every step we take and that privacy is often an illusion. Me, myself? I'm going to continue using my reward cards in shops, they get something back, also I have to eat gluten-free so this is telling them that I buy certain brands, which they will hopefully continue stocking. That while you're a commodity, that you have to make sure that you influence them with the good choices, as well as your unthinking choices. To buy what you want and try to ignore the influence of others trying to make you do what you don't want to do.It also tells me that I should be more adventurous in my choices and to venture out of my comfort zone occaionally - provided there's no gluten involved, of course.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Thoroughly enlightening and horrifying! This book had a ton of information about how companies are vying for our patronage.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lindstrom, a marketer with decades of experience at shaping the images of McDonald's, Microsoft and even an unnamed royal family (but you can guess who), explains how retailers get you to buy and how brands get you to buy their products. It even more invasive than you'd think. Lindstrom details the use of fear, peer pressure and nostalgia to sell things like iTunes downloads and soda, how the success of expensive fruits like acai and goji have been a result of marketing over science, how some grocery stores have your shopping cart wired to tell them everything you choose and how long you spend shopping, and that digital coupons and loyalty cards are sending your personal info to the stores permanent data banks.This was published in 2011, so I don't know if all the procedures are still being used, but I would guess that the majority are. It's a very interesting subject and Lindstrom explains the marketing tactics very well.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Stimulating and thought provoking, about how brands affect and effect your life. I think I am pretty immune to the type of brand-washing that this book describes, but I admit a certain weakness for Guess jeans and Dr Pepper. Especially scary is the chapter on data mining, where your every move is monitored and your information sold to companies that will try to sell you their product based on your preferences. Makes me think twice before "liking" something on FaceBook again.
Definitely a must read for anyone who has ever shopped or bought anything. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Marketing bullshit explained through more bullshit. Other than for its irony value I don't see any reason to recommend this. Denouncements of lack of scientific backing for product claims don't stop him from making his own pseudoscience claims. You will learn nothing new, this is the most obvious stuff you will have heard of without reading anything on the subject.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Some scary stuff in here about how the marketing mind thinks! Read and learn!
