I bought this book because I enjoy Lidia's TV show on public TV. One of the things I enjoy about the show is the simplicity of her recipes and the fact that she uses common (and inexpensive) ingredients to prepare what I consider to be everyday meals. I have cooked many of the meals she demonstrated and been very pleased with the results. The book was somewhat disappointing as the recipes were much more complicated and the ingredients included items like squab and venison, as well as more ordinary food. If I had seen the Table of Contents I probably would not have bought this book - but I did save a considerable amount of money buying it on-line. On the plus side - the narrative by Lidia and the photographs are terrific - well worth the price I paid.
Lydia Bastianich is fun to read and to watch her on her TV cooking shows. Great easy tasty recipes.

Lidia cooks similar to my Grandmothers cooking and comes from the same area in Croatia. Although I am now as old as her, I love the fact that i can find recipes from my childhood. She explains as she describes the process of cooking a recipe, which is both educational and enlightening. Even if you weren't brought up with her style of cooking, it is delicious and you will enjoy.

It’s refreshing to see a book correctly execute the recipes of Italian cuisine which is often wrong! Although this is not a book with photos or illustration the recipes are correct.
