I've come across her cooking shows lately and I'm thinking of purchasing some of her cookbooks.  Just wondering if anyone has one and/or if they've tried any of her recipes and if you liked them.

I have MANY of Lidia's cookbooks and I have not come across a recipe I wouldn't repeat over and over.  She is a phenomenal chef and teacher of Italian cuisine.  I just love her.  You won't be disappointed with any of her cookbooks.  I especially love her Italian American cookbook.

I love Lidia's recipes. I too have tried many and really enjoyed them all, my husband did too!

 

I watch her show every Saturday.

She's also on the show Create, which is a PBS channel, along with many cooks, and some travel. I watch Create most of the time.I like her and use the recipes in one of her cookbooks. I have Comcast and it's ch 201 in my area.

@ScrapHappy  I learn so much from her shows! She explains why everything works and actually cooks her recipes from start to finish. So rare on cooking shows these days. Her mom is a hoot! I don't have any of her cookbooks, but I've used recipes from her website. Very good!

I don't have any of her cookbooks, but I enjoy watching her on TV.

 

I wish I'd gotten her pasta bowls when she was on QVC a couple of years ago; they were well-reviewed. While I was thinking about getting a set, they sold out.
