Nothing brings a family together like food. And no one knows food like Lidia Bastianich. In this inviting, deeply personal new cookbook, she shares the dishes she cooks for those she loves the most.

This sincere, comforting cookbook features:- Traditional recipes that graced Lidia's table as a young girl: Crespelle with Herb Pesto, Prosciutto and Onion Frittata, Rigatoni with Sausage and Cabbage and Penne with Sausage.
