In her beautifully illustrated new cookbook, Lidia
Bastianich lays out a comprehensive curriculum of wise
cooking tips--from the cutting board to the kitchen table.
Channeling the instructive elements from her TV show, she
teaches us that a good dose of common sense is the key
ingredient to a stellar meal. As storyteller and chef, she
draws on anecdotes to educate and illustrate. Recalling
lessons learned from her mother, Erminia, and her
grandmother Nonna Rosa, Lidia pays homage to the kitchen
sages who inspired her. Whether it's Citrus Roasted Veal, or Rustic Ricotta Tart,
each recipe is a tangible feast. We learn to look at
ingredients as both geographic and cultural indicators. In
Campania, the region where mozzarella is king, we discover
it best eaten three hours after preparation. In Genova we
are taught that while focaccia had its basil origins in the
Ligurain culinary tradition, the herbs and flavorings will
change from region to region; as home chefs, we can
experiment with rosemary or oregano or olives or onions!
When it's time for dessert, Lidia draws on the scared
customs of nuns in Italian monasteries and convents and
reveals the secret to rice pudding with a blessing. Lidia's Commonsense Guide to Italian Cooking is a collection
of 150 delectable recipes, told with commonsense cooking
wisdom, that teaches us how create simple, seasonal Italian
dishes with grace, confidence and love.
