Program Description: LIDIA'S FAMILY TABLE, hosted by the ever-popular Lidia Bastianich, is filled with delicious master recipes for everyday Italian-style feasting and imaginative ideas for variations and improvisations. From comfort food to haute cuisine, Lidia fuses recipes from both past and present into creative Mediterranean dishes, making them uniquely her own. To Lidia, the simplicity of a family cooking together is one of the most rewarding aspects of life. In LIDIA'S FAMILY TABLE, her mother Erminia, children Tanya and Joe, and grandchildren help prepare some of Lidia's favorite and most personal recipes yet. The recipes combine fresh ingredients and use the same techniques Lidia has acquired during her more than 40 years of cooking. With her warm presence and engaging style, Lidia welcomes viewers to her table with appetizers of seasonal salads and vegetables, treats from the sea and satisfying soups. She provides ideas for making pastas and quick sauces that mix and match in surprising ways.
