For Lidia Bastianich, family and kitchen are the heart and soul of the Italian-American experience.
Lidia presents traditional dishes with origins in authentic regional fare that suit the American palate and pantry.
In "Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen," Lidia Bastianich draws on favorite recipes from her first restaurant, Buonavia, in Queens, NY, and cooks, as only Lidia can, the classic Italian-American dishes we all grew up with.
With her modern Italian-Mediterranean sensibility, she creates the mouth-watering, inspiring and memorable contemporary classics we have come to expect from her kitchen.
Showcasing festive and delicious cuisine, each episode features easy-to-follow recipes presented by Lidia - a mother, grandmother, home cook extraordinaire and professional master chef - who cares about making good food a part of everyday life.
The series will continue to build on what Lidia's audiences absolutely love in larger and larger numbers: authentic cooking taught by someone who genuinely cares, and whom they care about.
These are dishes that make viewers hungry just watching the show, dishes that they can follow, cook and serve for themselves at home.
Over the years, Lidia's charm, warmth and inviting personality have made her a favorite among television audiences.

Italian is spoken and understood throughout Italy, it is the proper Italian understood by all, the dialets frome every area are their authetic home town tongue.Obiviously you are not Italian, and if you are you should know this. Lidia your recipes are awesome and I have made many. Love to watch your show. You go girl!!!!!! Anne
Thank you Anne, as if anyone really did watch Lidia's Cooking show's - they would know exactly where she was born and what she went through to get to America. I congratulate you on politely putting this person on the right track. Michele Guagliardo
She is Siccilian and as far as a know, siccilians are not real Italians. They don`t even speak Italian well, but some type of uggly dialet mixed with Italian.
I just love to watch Lidia cook and so does my daughter. My husband is Italian so I love to cook the Italian way.The way she explains everything and makes it so interesting and entertaining, you just can't help but remember her recipes.Good food really does keep a family together. I could watch her all day.
