 The best-loved and most-admired of all American television cooks today, Lidia Bastianich, now gives us her most generous and creative cookbook. The emphasis here is on cooking for the family, and her book is filled with unusually delicious master recipes for everyday feasting Italian-style and imaginative ideas for variations and improvisations. Here are more than 200 fabulous new dishes that will appeal both to Lidia's loyal following, who have come to rely on her wonderfully instructive recipes, and to the more adventurous cook ready to experiment. She welcomes us to her table with appetizers of seasonal salads and vegetables and treats from the sea; she gives us soups so satisfying they make a meal. She teaches us to make pastas and quick sauces that mix and match in surprising ways (such as barley pasta with duck sauce). Main courses lend themselves to creative recycling, and garden greens are dressed in sassy sauces; desserts play on the theme of fruits and crusts. Lidia's warm presence is felt on every page, and the brilliant photographs show her rolling out pasta dough with her grandchildren, bringing in the summer harvest, and sitting around the family table. As she makes every meal a celebration, she invites us to do the same, giving us confidence and joy in the act of cooking.
