 If you love the TV series you need this book September 11, 2007
I enjoy watching Lydia Bastianich on TV, not only because of the food, but because it takes me back to my childhood with my Italian family. While I know a lot of the techniques and cultural values that Lydia espouses, I am not at all familiar with most of the recipes. It is great to be able to go right from an episode to trying it myself at home.

I have all of Lydia's cookbooks. Lydia's Italy is wonderful. The recipes are, as always, a way for me to go back in my memories to my childhood dinners at my Italian grandmothers. The travelogue is so interesting-and I realized that I must go back and visit the places that were mentioned that I had missed when I was in Italy. A must for next to the stove in your kitchen.
A fine survey September 7, 2007

Fans of either Lidia's previous Italian cuisine books or Italian regional fare will appreciate LIDIA'S ITALY, a fine survey that blends regional specialties and dishes with culinary descriptions proceeding each dish. Color photos throughout assure browsing pleasure and details that lend to easy duplication of appearance, while the author's personal experiences and insights jazz up the results. Highly recommended for any library strong in international cooking in general or Italian regional specialties in particular.

I have all of Lidia's cookbooks and enjoy all of them.
This one is particularly interesting because it helps you to learn about Italy. The recipes are easy to follow and
make wonderful meals.

Lidia's Italy is a perfect confection of a cookbook - it provides cultural history, delicious recipes that seem to have been hand-picked with loving care and presented in meticulous detail & beautiful photographs [my only grouse is that all the dishes were not accompanied by pictures]. I have only tried a couple of recipes so far, but they have turned out well, and my favorite is the palacinke [crepes with chocolate and walnuts]...an outstanding Italian cookbook from a master chef!
