A Chef's Table: December 28, 2006

The way you set your table creates the atmosphere for a meal. During this encore hour, we'll talk about the designer who changed how Americans think about entertaining. We'll hear about a new cookbook based on the style and menus of Russell Wright, the pioneer designer of the 1950s American modern movement. He didn't just create best-selling dinnerware, he also envisioned a new way to eat. Later, we'll cook up simple, elegant food that's perfect for this classic table setting and lifestyle. We'll also surprise you with gourmet meatless cuisine, find out how to get your kids into the kitchen, and discover the wonderful foods of South America. (Broadcast Date: December 28, 2006)
