Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen

Lidia Bastianich, the New York chef and restaurateur, provides stories of her own personal history in Ischia and then the U.S. (to which she immigrated in 1958), as well as dozens of recipes--what she calls the cuisine of adaptation. They include Cavatelli with Bread Crumbs and Pancetta, Orecchiette with Artichokes, and even a refreshing take on that Italian-American favorite, Spaghetti and Meatballs.
