About
the Book:
"Let me invite you on a journey
with me from my childhood," beckons Lidia Bastianich,
hostess of the television series of the same name. And
what an incredible journey it proves to be!
Lidia's Italian Table is overflowing with glorious Italian
food, highlighted by Lidia's personal collection of recipes
accumulated since her childhood in Istria, located in
northern Italy on the Adriatic Sea. Hearty and heartwarming
Italian fare is what Lidia understands best, and each
chapter of this gorgeous cookbook is infused with Lidia's
warm memories of a lifetime of eating and cooking Italian
food.
Since good Italian food is based on good ingredients,
Lidia includes an eloquent discourse on those products
that are the cornerstones of Italian cuisine. She also
explains the importance of regional wines and grappa
(in flavors from honey to dried fig) in the Italian food
experience.
Lidia explores every corner of Italian cuisine, from
fresh and dry pasta to gnocchi and risotto to game and
shellfish, all of which Lidia transforms into exceptional
Italian dishes. But that is only the beginning. There
are Italian soups to savor, and Lidia's luscious dolci,
or desserts.
This gastronomic adventure is more than just a cookbook:
it is an exploration into the heart of Italian cuisine.
