Focusing
on the Italian-American kitchen—the
cooking she encountered when she first came to America as a young
adolescent—Lidia Bastianich pays
homage to this “cuisine of adaptation born of necessity.” But
she transforms it subtly with her light, discriminating touch, using
the authentic ingredients, not accessible to the early immigrants,
which are all so readily available today.
Just as Lidia introduced new Italian regional
dishes to her appreciative clientele in Queens in the seventies,
so she dazzles
us now. She is a master at teaching us how to make our own
ravioli, featherlight gnocchi, and genuine Neapolitan pizza.
Laced with stories about her experiences in America and her discoveries
as a cook, this enchanting book is both a pleasure to read and a
joy to cook from.
