COPY ISBN
Celebrity chef and restaurateur Bastianich (Lidia’s Italy in America) has written eight cookbooks, many of them coauthored with Manuali, her daughter. Organized by course, their latest contains both new and previously published recipes for favorites such as Eggplant Parmigiana, Beef Braised in Barolo, and Limoncello Tiramisu. Seeking to make these recipes affordable, accessible, and nutritious, the authors emphasize seasonal ingredients and simple preparations.
VERDICT More compact than Bastianich’s other titles, this practical collection is perfect for families as well as readers who enjoyed Viana La Place and Evan Kleiman’s Cucina Rustica.
