I love watching Lidia on her tv show and finally got around to buying one of her books. This book has a great, authentic Carbonara that I now cook every couple of weeks.
In Lidia's Family Table Lidia has practically written an autobiography interspersed with a recipeography. She has included so many little personal details from her past that I feel like I really know her and that we'd be great cooking buddies.

Lots of yummy recipes. Haven't tried as many of them as I have marked to. Will update after more attempts.
Wonderful book! ...and here I find that I can peel and cook the fruit that falls off of my prickly pear cactus. Who knew?
Lidia's recipes are interesting and look amazing!
Enjoyed this cookbook, there are recipes I look forward to making.
