America’s favorite Italian-American cook, Lidia Bastianich,
shares the story of the Christmases she used to celebrate in Italy
with her five grandchildren.
When Lidia was a child, she spent Christmas with her
grandparents, where she learned to cook with her Nonna Rosa by
preparing food in their smokehouse and kitchen. Lidia and her
brother would also find a big beautiful juniper bush to cut down
for their holiday tree. And they made their own holiday decorations
with nuts, berries, and herbs they collected for their meals.
This delightful picture book is filled with the story of Lidia’s
Christmas traditions, delicious recipes, and decorating ideas all
perfected over the years by Lidia and her family.
