With all the family stories and passed-down recipes, in many ways, this book can be seen as a tribute to Nonna.
This sincere, comforting cookbook features:
Traditional recipes that graced Lidia's table as a young girl: Crespelle with Herb Pesto, Prosciutto and Onion Frittata, Rigatoni with Sausage and Cabbage and Penne with Sausage.New creations she makes for her family: Sweet Potato Chickpea Gnocchi with Gorgonzola, Cheesy Baked Chicken Wings, Mushrooms and Ricotta Vegetable Polpette Mimosa Cake.
Bringing together more than a 100 delicious, flavorful, and easy-to-make Italian recipes, From Our Family's Table to Yours is a celebration of the dishes Lidia’s family turns to over and over—and yours will, too. This book is the next-best thing to a seat at Lidia’s table!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
To Italian cooking legend Bastianich and her daughter Manuali (who most recently collaborated on Lidia's A Pot, a Pan, and a Bowl), food is "an expression of love and caring"—especially cooking for and eating with family. 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, such as her grandfather's love of prosciutto and onion frittatas or her grandchildren "toddling through garden" picking cherry tomatoes. Rigatoni with sausage and cabbage will forever be linked to her grandparents, who raised pigs, while simple roast chicken sparks memories of mother-daughter meals she treasured. 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.
