Lidia's Italian Table: More Than 200 Recipes From The First Lady Of Italian Cooking

Lidia's Italian Table is not a "classic cook book" like some of her other cook books. If I remember correctly this was her second book and she was just getting warmed up. What I like about Lydia Bastianich, it is not about new molecular or fusion cooking, it is basic Italian cooking. She is the new Marcella Hazan. M Hazan is the person who started documenting Italian cuisine in the seventy's and show Americans that Italian cuisine is more that spaghetti and lasagna. If you are looking to expand your Italian repertoire, this book is a great starting point. Try the crosatas, reminds me of the first time I tried them in Umbria.

This is a fantastic cookbook. The instructions for each recipe are long but full of great information. Her tips are spot on and help instill confidence when attempting more complex dishes. Highly recommend.

I look forward to trying her recipes after watching her show!

What is wrong with a chef cookbook ? My expectations were a picture for the completed recipe. Very little of this. I love her show. I expected more.

It's my partner who uses this book the most, but the things he makes from it are just delicious. There's a good variety of recipes, they're easy to follow and traditional.We'd recommend this book for those who love Italian food and cooking.

Love the cook book used it the day I received it .Everything about it makes you wants you to start cooking.Will be getting other cook books from Linda.

good easy to follow recipes, all easy to find items in local stores,and all good Italian recipes that are easy to make

very good bookand reciepes

Great authentic Italian recipes

Great book, amazing recipes. I am quite satisfied with the quality of this cooking book. Delivery took about three weeks plus the book came without the paper front cover(so it only has the yellow cover with just the title).

The recipes are simple, different but stipulate that you can find the recommended produce. The author also discusses different methods and wine and cheese combinations.

Very happy with all purchases.
