 2009-01-03 - A gastronomic tour of Italy
This is the most recent of three Lidia books I own and use. The Babas infused with Limoncello (Naples) was easier than I thought, the Beef Goulash (Trieste) from northern Italy a surprise, rivaled the recipe I love from Wolfgang Puck, and he knows goulash. The Marsala Scallopine dish (Sicily) was right on the money, easy to make using pork, chicken, or veal..an impressive, easy entertaining dish as well, only takes minutes to do. The simple "Sandy Cake" coffee cake using cornmeal (Padova/Treviso), not too sweet. Many more recipes yet to try. An informative and tasty food tour of all regions of Italy!
2008-12-17 - Lidia's book
I purchased this cookbook as a present for my mother. I leafed thru the book, liked Lidia's personal info about different regions of Italy and local favorites. Most of the recipes are do-able w/o the purchase of exotic ingredients or special equipment.
 2008-12-01 - Good basics
This is a good, basic cookbook with easy to follow recipes. Especially fun if you are a fan of her show. I read along and make notes in the book of additional information as I watch her prepare the dish on TV.
2008-11-19 - Wonderful book
Lydia's the best. Her recipes are great and if you follow her instructions, which are precise, you will have a great meal.
