An Evening with Lidia in Morristown, NJ on May 17th
You have the recipes, now hear the stories! Lidia’s passion for food and family is known, but how her childhood memories of a courtyard in Istria grew into an Italian food and culture empire is a story few have heard.
Critically acclaimed chef, television host, restaurateur, and author Lidia Bastianich comes to Morristown’s Mayo Center for the Performing Arts for an evening of multimedia storytelling, live Q & A, and book signing. Dotted with footage of touching interviews with Lidia, Grandma Erminia, and Tanya, you’ll go behind the scenes in the Bastianich family through the ages!
Lidia talks about growing up in Italy, her family’s struggle to come to America, her introduction to Italian-American food, and her subsequent rediscovery of authentic regional Italian cuisine. Bringing her story back to the US, Lidia’s latest book and public television series, Lidia’s Italy in America, pay homage the people and places that carry on the Italian-American spirit.
The adventure that is adapting to a new life in America is illustrated by Lidia’s own story, examined in her latest book, and celebrated in her live show.
