Solid gold--so far everything works. Try the cornmeal cookies and the hazelnut cake (and consider ordering DuChelly hazelnuts from Nuts Online. This isn't a paid plug--I'm just a customer.) as Groucho sang "You can learn a lot from Lidia."

This book needs to go on my kitchen shelf. Sort of a mix between a travel book and a cookbook - glowing descriptions and wonderful food.

Lidia needs to include more pictures of the food and less pictures of the locations. To me, a cookbook is nothing without pictures--no matter how good the recipes are.

I really like the way she's broken the recipes into regions. It makes it easier to study and cook a particular region of Italy...which is as varied as France and America!

I tried a recipe that was similar to the ones in this book--it was something I saw Lidia make when she was the guest on Chef's Story. I know I got something wrong, because it turned out badly. That said, the rating I've given this book is really a rating of my self-perceived ability to succeed with the recipes. Perhaps with trial and error this book will merit a higher rating from me. :)

I've been working my way through the recipes in this book, which I received as a gift in the fall. All of the dishes I've made so far have been delicious. There's a good mix of simple/challenging recipes, and the instructions are very clear. I recommend!

Organized by region, so a bit harder to select just the right entree or dessert than Lidia's Family Table. The recipes are every bit as enjoyable. Another winner, though I liked the family pictures in the first book more than the travelogue shots here.

I made the beef goulash recipe from this book, and it was excellent. I didn't care to make any of the other recipes, which is why it only got 3 stars.

I *heart* Lidia. She reminds me of my Grandma Marie. Although I haven't actually cooked anything from this book, reading it is like going on vacation.

This book and the recipes are an absolute masterpiece. I love Italian food and this and Marcella Hazen's book are the only ones you need.
