Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy: A Feast of 175 Regional Recipes

(First Edition, Signed Bookplate) In the warm and welcoming style that fans of the PBS television show Lidia's Italy have come to know, Lidia Bastianich here uncovers hidden treasures in the regional cooking of lesser known parts of Italy, with recipes shared by the farmers, shepherds, foragers, and artisans who produce local cheeses, meats, olive oils, and wines. From the north comes Risotto Milan-Style with Marrow and Saffron; from sheep country, a Braised Leg of Lamb, and Lamb Chops with Olives; from the farmlands, Rabbit with Onions, and Stuffed Quail in Parchment; and from coastal waters, a Roast Lobster with Bread Crumb Topping and a Zuppa di Pesci. This richly illustrated cookbook—with side trips in each region conducted by her daughter Tanya—is presented here in a first edition with a bookplate signed by Lidia.
