La Cucina Di Lidia: Recipes and Memories from Italy's Adriatic Coast

I think Lidia has opened her heart and shared memories along with excellent recipes. I love this book and it is one I have out on my coffee table to just pick up and read when I have a few minutes. Her recipes are always so easy to understand and make - this cookbook is my favorite and she is an American treasure! I remember my grandmother making so many of Lidia's dishes, but she was unable to read and write and her recipes went with her when she died. Lidia has some of them in her cookbook and I thank her for that! This book also makes a wonderful gift to someone who is Italian or just loves Italian food! Thank you Lidia!

Have tried many of Lidia's recipes and haven't been disappointed yet. I also watch her TV Cooking Programs when I can catch them. She is a very accomplished culinary professional and I have many of her cookbooks. If you like to cook Italian foods and try new recipes, you will find a treasure chest of new experiences in this book. Just be ready for a flood of compliments if you are serving party guests. They will be impressed.

Had a recipe that only Lidia produced. Watched her show many years ago but could not find the recipe anywhere. In the book. Priceless to me, plus wonderful stories of Lidia in the book. Just great.

This book of recipes and stories made the perfect gift for my friend who LOVES to cook. My friend watches Lidia's cooking show. She enjoys not only the recipes in this volume but the stories and pictures as well. I am so glad that this book was available through Amazon at such a great price that I could share Lidia's recipes with my friend.

Looking forward to Lidia's next book. She covers, cooking Italian, like no one else! Interesting history book! Grand Dame of Italian cuisine.
