Description:
Lidia's Italian Table features Lidia's collection of recipes accumulated since her childhood in northern Italy on the Adriatic Sea. Lidia includes a detailed discussion of the cornerstones of Italian cuisine: olives, Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt, porcini, truffles, tomato paste, and hot peppers. Lidia explores every corner of Italian cuisine: from fresh and dry pasta to gnocchi and risotto to game and shellfish.
Lidia's Italian Table is filled with stories such as learning to make Easter bread with her Grandma Rosa in the town's communal oven to fishing for calamari with her uncle Zio Milio. This is more than just a cookbook: It is an exploration into the heart of Italian cuisine.
