Böcker av Lidia Matticchio Bastianich

"This is the first book Lidia has written since her beloved ... mother died. With all the family stories and recipes, in some ways this book can be seen as a tribute to Nona. Here are the traditional recipes that graced Lidia's table as a young girl--prosciutto and onion frittata, rigatoni with sausage and cabbage--alongside the new creations: sweet potato chickpea gnocchi with gorgonzola, [and the] cheesy baked chicken wings she makes for her children and grandchildren today"--
