Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy - a Feast of 175 Regional Recipes

Lidia Matticchio Bastianich 

Offered is a previously owned 2009 First Edition hardback in dust jacket, both in very good/excellent condition. Sources say, “From the Emmy award-winning chef and bestselling author, a collection of wonderful, uncomplicated recipes from little-known parts of Italy, celebrating time-honored techniques and elemental, good family cooking.

Penetrating the heart of Italy—starting at the north, working down to the tip, and ending in Sardinia—Lidia unearths a wealth of recipes…..The 175 recipes she shares with us in this rich feast of a book represent the work of the local people and friends with whom she made intimate contact—the farmers, shepherds, foragers, and artisans who produce local cheeses, meats, olive oils, and wines. And in addition, her daughter, Tanya, takes us on side trips in each of the twelve regions to share her love of the country and its art.”  One of her best cookbooks, in my opinion.
