Lidia's Italy: 140 Simple and Delicious Recipes from the Ten Places in Italy Lidia Loves Most

Lydia's the best. Her recipes are great and if you follow her instructions, which are precise, you will have a great meal.

Beautiful book - full color and nice pages. Great recipes. My mother and I love it!

Yummy!!! Insightful, interesting and a great companion to the PBS show. It's great to watch her on tv and be able to open the book to the dish she's featuring. Tu tian tavola a mangiare!

The thing about Lidia's books and cooking show is she actually teaches me something. She tells me about the regional cooking and how to prepare authentic recipes - simple and straight forward. I love that she's not just another celebrity chef. She's the real deal.

Lidia and Mario Batali are true teachers of their craft. I constantly learn from both of them.

Do you know how you can just about smell and taste Lidia's dishes as she prepares them on her show? Well, that's exactly what you'll get when you make her delicious and easy recipes in this divine book. She writes them out so well that it's almost like standing right beside her in your own kitchen. I have many, many cookbooks, as it's one of the things I collect, read from cover to cover, and then put to use -- but this is my all-time favorite for Italian fare. Put simply, it's pure bliss.
