Lidia's Kitchen

Worth Celebrating

Italians are serious about their celebrations. The food, the company, the conversation, the music, and the wine are always abundant! And Lidia is ready to celebrate with you, starting with her Winter Panzanella. A mix of warm roasted vegetables is tossed with bread and kale to make one creative winter take on the traditional bread salad. Then Lidia's granddaughter, Julia Manuali, stops by the kitchen to make a Crespelle Bar, a fun, festive way to treat guests to a sweet finish to any meal. And during the holidays, Lidia's mother, Grandma Erminia, was the expert maker of these Farina Gnocchi. All you need is a good stock to cook them and let the celebration begin! Like Lidia says, what's a celebration without lots of food?!
