Connecting and discovering with food!
Lydia Cooks the Books is a monthly culinary adventure featuring cookbooks from exciting and innovative chefs. Each month, Lydia demonstrates recipes from favorite cookbooks in her vast library. Enjoy a relaxed lunch highlighting recipes from Marcella Hazan’s Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking with white bean soup with garlic and parsley, potato gnocchi in gorgonzola sauce with steak filet drizzled with balsamic glaze, plus sgroppino – a Venetian lemon and strawberry slushy cocktail with sparkling wine.
