LA CUCINA DI LIDIA(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Now in paperback–the debut cookbook from the beloved Italian
cook, restaurateur, and public television personality.
　　Lidia Bastianich is famous for her Italian-American cooking, but
this cookbook–her first–captures the distinctive cuisine of her
native Istria, located on Italy’s northeastern Adriatic coast near
the border of the former Yugoslavia. This book is also her most
personal; in addition to the recipes, she has included numerous
personal stories, memories, and photographs from her
childhood.
　　With La Cucina di Lidia, you can savor antipasti such as Polenta
with Fontina and Mushrooms or Shrimp and Mixed Bean Salad. Rice and
pastas include Plum Gnocchi, Risotto with Squash Blossoms, and
Zucchini and Tagliatelle with Leek Sauce. Entrées feature fish
(Swordfish in Sweet and Sour Sauce), fowl (Roast Chicken with
Rosemary and Orange), meat (Stuffed Breast of Veal), and game (Duck
Roasted with Sauerkraut). Desserts range from Chocolate Zabaglione
Cake to Apple-Custard Tart.
　　Here is an Italian cuisine infused with the flavors of Eastern
Europe, the early repertoire of one of America’s favorite chefs.
Discover Lidia’s history and memories as well as the dishes from
her homeland. The stories and tastes are unforgettable.
