Nonna Tell Me A Story: Lidia's Christmas Kitchen

by Lidia Bastianich

This is a book about building your holidays — not around holographic reindeer or digital menorahs — but rather some simple things: family, nature, the stove. It begins “When I was a little girl…” and from this reminiscence Lidia Bastianich, the grandmother of all Italian chefs, cooks up the story of tough days in the old country brightened by cookies, crostata, and crepes.
