And no one knows food-or values the family tables-like Lidia Bastianich, "the doyenne of Italian cooking" (The New York Times). In this inviting, deeply personal cookbook, Lidia shares the recipes she cooks for those she loves the most and pays tribute to her late mother, "Grandma" Erminia-beloved by millions of TV viewers. Because no one shaped Lidia's view of food or her family values more than her own mother. Here are the traditional dishes and family favorites that graced Lidia's table when she was a young girl (Prosciutto and Onion Frittata; Rigatoni with Sausage and Cabbage) alongside the new creations (such as Sweet Potato Chickpea Gnocchi with Gorgonzola and Cheesy Baked Chicken Wings) that she makes for her children and grandchildren today. Bringing together more than a hundred delicious, flavorful, and easy-to-make Italian recipes, Lidia's From Our Family Table to Yours is a celebration of the dishes Lidia's family turns to over and over-and yours will, too. From Crespelle with Herb Pesto to Penne Rigate with Sausage, Mushrooms, and Ricotta; from Vegetable Polpette to Mimosa Cake, this book is the next best thing to a seat at Lidia's kitchen table.
