Virtual Author Talk: Lidia Bastianich

You’re invited to an intimate evening with award-winning television host and bestselling author Lidia Bastianich as she talks about her memoir My American Dream: A Life of Love, Family, and Food.

Born in Pula, on the Istrian peninsula, Lidia immigrated to the United States in the late 1950’s and became one of the most revered chefs and businesswomen in the country. Heartwarming, deeply personal, and powerfully inspiring, My American Dream is the story of Lidia’s close-knit family and her dedication to and endless passion for food.

As a special bonus (and pre-release!) Lidia will preview her newest cookbook Lidia's From Our Family Table to Yours: More Than 100 Recipes Made with Love for All Occasions: A Cookbook. In this inviting, deeply personal new cookbook, she shares the dishes she cooks for those she loves the most. It’s also a tribute to her beloved mother, Nonna, who passed away in 2021.
