Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy: A Feast of 175 Regional Recipes by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, Tanya Bastianich Manuali
2.0
2.5/5 stars, since Goodreads doesn't do half-stars
There's a good variety of recipes, and even a lot of vegetarian recipes, which isn't typical for a Lidia Bastianich cookbook. As other reviewers have stated, this cookbook focuses on regions such as Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna, and the small Italian regional differences that are not well-known to the average American reader/eater.
One of my favorite parts of any Lidia cookbook is her stories of her personal experience in that part of Italy. Sometimes I could do without the name-dropping but the anecdotes do add a lot of local flavor, so to speak.
