Pack your bags because you’re going to Italy–Lidia’s Italy!
Tonight Lidia Bastianich, America’s interpreter of Italian food,
reveals the singular flavors and traditions of many lesserknown
regions of Italy, including Molise, Liguria, and
Umbria—and explores hidden treasures in the well-known
gastronomic domains of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. In a
conversation with Joe Yonan, Washington Post food and travel
editor, Bastianich details
the delightful variations
in cooking and daily
life in the mountains,
farmland, and coastal
communities she has
come to know well. In
addition, she tells us how
to translate the gastronomic
language of Italy
in our own kitchens.
Bastianich is a chef,
cookbook author,
television host, and
restaurant owner.
With daughter Tanya
Bastianich Manuali, she
wrote her latest book, Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy
(Knopf), which will be available for signing after the program.
