From the Emmy-winning host of Lidia’s Kitchen, best-selling
author, and beloved ambassador for Italian culinary
traditions in America comes the ultimate master class: a
beautifully produced definitive guide to Italian cooking,
coauthored with her daughter, Tanya—covering everything from
ingredients to techniques to tools, plus more than 400
delectable recipes.
Teaching has always been Lidia’s passion, and in this
magnificent book she gives us the full benefit of that
passion and of her deep, comprehensive understanding of what
it takes to create delicious Italian meals. With this book,
readers will learn all the techniques needed to master
Italian cooking. Lidia introduces us to the full range of
standard ingredients—meats and fish, vegetables and fruits,
grains, spices and condiments—and how to buy, store, clean,
and cook with them.
The 400 recipes run the full gamut from classics like
risotto alla milanese and Tagliatelle with Mushroom Sauce to
Lidia’s always-satisfying originals like Bread and Prune
Gnocchi and Beet Ravioli in Poppy Seed Sauce. She gives us a
comprehensive guide to the tools every kitchen should have
to produce the best results. And she has even included a
glossary of cuisine-related words and phrases that will
prove indispensable for cooking, as well as for traveling
and dining in Italy.
There is no other book like this; it is the one book on
Italian cuisine that every cook will need.
