Born in Pula\, on the Istrian penins ula\, Lidia grew up surrounded by love and security\, learning the art of Italian cooking from her beloved grandmother. But when a communist regime annexed Istria\, Lidia&rsquo\;s family fled to Trieste\, where they spent two years in a refugee camp waiting for visas to enter the United States. When she finally arrived in New York\, Lidia soon began working in restaur ants\, the first step leading to her becoming one of the most revered chef s and businesswomen in the country. Heartwarming\, deeply personal\, and p owerfully inspiring\, "My American Dream" is the story of Lidia&rsquo\;s c lose-knit family and her dedication and endless passion for food.
\nAs a special bonus (and pre-release!) Lidia will preview and chat about he r newest cookbook "Lidia's From Our Family Table to Yours: More Than 100 R ecipes Made With Love For All Occasions: A Cookbook". \;In this inviti ng\, deeply personal new cookbook\, she shares the dishes she cooks for th ose she loves the most. This is the first book Lidia has written since the death of her mother\, Nonna\, who was beloved not only by Lidia&rsquo\;s family but also by millions of cookbook and TV fans. With all the family s tories and passed-down recipes\, in many ways\, this book can be seen as a tribute to Nonna. Bringing together more than a hundred delicious\, flavo rful\, and easy-to-make Italian recipes\, "From Our Family&rsquo\;s Table to Yours" is a celebration of the dishes Lidia&rsquo\;s family turns to ov er and over&mdash\;and yours will\, too. From Crespelle with Herb Pesto to Penne with Sausage\, Mushrooms\, and Ricotta Vegetable Polpette to Mimosa Cake\, this book is the next best thing to a seat at Lidia&rsquo\;s kitch en table.
