Lidia's From Our Family Table to Yours

★ “In what may be her most personal work to date, Bastianich shares recipes from a lifetime of gatherings that fans will treasure. From mussel bruschetta and spicy crispy roasted cauliflower to cream of fava soup and beef rollatini, she offers inviting options suitable for busy weeknights or more leisurely special occasions. Each recipe provides a glimpse into Bastianich’s life… . Each entry feels intimate and heartfelt, and while Bastianich has always been appreciated for her relaxed approach to food, this latest collection brings her sincerity, accessibility, and culinary talent to a new level. Home cooks won’t be able to resist.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)”[Some] cookbooks are more than just a collection of ingredients and methods; they are woven with memories, stories, and love. Lidia Matticchio Bastianich and Tanya Bastianich Manuali encapsulate this essence in Lidia’s From Our Family Table to Yours. It’s a tribute to family traditions, offering a delightful glimpse into meals that have graced their family table for generations. Lidia’s work stands out, feeling like a cherished heirloom, inviting you to become a part of their family with every dish you recreate.” —Dani Zoeller, Tasting Table“As PBS celebrity chef and restaurateur/entrepreneur Bastianich has emphasized in her previous dozen-plus collections, sharing food is sharing love. [In Lidia’s from Our Family Table to Yours] readers can expect a preponderance of pasta recipes, along with the philosophy that anything with cheese (Grana Padano, in particular) is an instant hit. More than 100 recipes, created in concert with daughter Tanya, provide the sort of magical cuisine Lidia is known for, with family stories featuring Grandma Erminia and grandkids—naturally—followed by instructions for the dish… . The many of us who can’t get to one of Lidia’s NYC restaurants can try to master one of her recipes.” —Barbara Jacobs, Booklist
