Book Description
In this exciting new book the incomparable Lidia takes us on a gastronomic journey—from Piemonte to Puglia—exploring ten different regions that have informed her cooking and helped to make her the fabulous cook that she is today. In addition, her daughter Tanya, an art historian, guides us to some of the nearby cultural treasures that enrich the pursuit of good food.
There are 140 delectable recipes to be found as you make this journey with Lidia. And along the way, with Tanya to guide you, you’ll stop to admire Raphael’s fresco Triumph of Galatea, a short walk from the market in Rome; the two enchanting women in the Palazzo Abbatellis in Palermo; and the Roman ruins in Friuli, among many other delights. There’s something for everyone in this rich and satisfying book that will open up new horizons even to the most seasoned lover of Italy.
Lidia’s Italy Review
I have been considered a good cook for most of my life. Mama Lidia has increased one of my best qualities, exponentially. To be watching one of her PBS shows, with the cookbook that accompanies it on my knee, is empowering. Lidia would be the ideal way for a beginner cook to get off to a spectacular start. But be warned! Once you feed people you can’t get rid of them. What your Mother told you about stray puppies and kittens applies to people too.
My mother loves Lidia’s TV show. I have never been to her restaurant (in Kansas City ) butI have tried some of her recipes on line that I have found. My mother really likes how this book covers Lidia’s travel through Italy and the incredible recipes she has in her book. This sounded like my first real Italian cookbook I just bought “On Top of Spaghetti” written by the two chef team (Johanne Killen and George Germon) that have the great restaurant in Providence called Al Forno. Well I purchased this new Lidia book for her and she is just ecstatic. She has been to Italy and loves reading about the parts of Italy, Lidia’s travels and the recipes. (Both the books are thumbs up by the way).
