"LIDIA COOKS FROM THE HEART OF ITALY...[includes] 175 rustic recipes from lesser-known parts of the peninsula such as Molise, Liguria, Umbria, Abruzzo, Calabria, Valle d'Aosta, Le Marche, Trentino Alto Adige, Basilicata and Sardinia, including surprising dishes like meatless meatballs, apple and bean soup and chocolate biscotti pudding....Gorgeous photos as well stories and history by her daughter Tanya Bastianich Manuali...add another level of depth and interest."

"In her trademark style, Bastianich places each recipe in the context of its Italian heritage, sharing insight into the people and highlights of the region...Readers will enjoy this volume not only as a cookbook but as a vicarious travel guide, flipping the pages to take in the culture as well as the cuisine. Bastianich's fans will delight in this superb volume, which no kitchen should be without."

Publisher's note

In this warmly written, lushly illustrated new cookbook, Lidia delves into the regional cooking of many lesser known parts of Italy--Molise, Liguria, Umbria, Abruzzo, Calabria, Valle d'Aosta, Le Marche, Trentino Alto Adige, Basilicata, and Sardinia--and explores hidden treasures in the well-known gastronomic domains of Lombardy and Emilia Romagna.
From the north, she brings us a wealth of rice recipes, including Risotto Milan-Style with Marrow and Saffron; from sheep country, a Braised Leg of Lamb plus Lamb Chops with Olives; from farmlands, Rabbit with Onions and Stuffed Quail in Parchment; from coastal waters, a Roast Lobster with Bread Crumb Topping, and "Zuppa di Pesce. "And in every region she discovers new ways with pasta.
Above all, no matter where she is, Lidia reaches the local people who make great olive oils, or harvest tiny lentils, or produce artisan cheeses and regional wines. The authentic and delectable recipes she brings home to us are born out of these intimate connections and, as always, out of her passion for the delightfully varied foods of her native Italy. In addition, her daughter, Tanya, takes us on side trips to share her love of the country and its art.

Shares recipes from lesser-known regions of Italy and secret dishes from famous areas, in a treasury that includes such options as Risotto Milan-Style with Marrow and Saffron, Rabbit with Onions and Stuffed Quail in Parchment, and Roast Lobster with Bread Crumb Topping.

Annotation

Television personality, chef, and cookbook author Lidia Bastianich shares a wonderful array of recipes from parts of Italy that don't often get the culinary spotlight. Roast Lobster with Bread Crumb Topping hails from Sardinia, while Le Marche boasts Farro with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, and Polenta with Black Beans and Kale has its origins in Valle d'Aosta. Other mouthwatering recipes include Fried Ricotta; Lamb Chops with Olives; and Potato-Mushroom Cake with Braised Lentils. With gorgeous, full-color photographs.
