Lidia's Kitchen

Join Lidia at the table for some traditional winter fare of the northern Italian mountains. To start, Lidia serves up a heartwarming Mushroom Ragu. Then Lidia percolates the perfect cup of Italian coffee, with grandson Lorenzo using her Moka Pot. To finish the meal, she makes her rendition of Kaiserschmarrn, a fluffy, light, eggy pancake topped with jam. Let’s head to the Dolomites with Lidia!

Today, Lidia shows you how to cook just for yourself. Pasta makes great leftovers, and this Fettuccine with Caramelized Onions, Bacon, and Olives is rich in flavor and takes no time. Lidia shares a favorite Orange Spritz recipe that reminds her of grandfather. Lidia’s Simple Roast Chicken features her favorite flavors of rosemary and lemon. It’s just Lidia today, so let’s cook for one!

Lidia reminds us to savor the time we get to gather around the table with loved ones. Granddaughter Olivia joins Lidia to make a simple, yet elegant Citrus and Fennel Salad. Lidia walks us through how to make Smashed Garlic Rosemary Potatoes with ease. Lidia’s Roast Pork Shoulder requires time to cook, but the oven does most of the work! So let’s cook up a feast with Lidia for the ones we love!

Lidia believes in the power of food. And today she shapes fresh pasta into Fuzi with her grandson, Ethan, to make a traditional Sunday dish from her childhood, Fuzi with Chicken Ragu. Making this dish transports Lidia through time with each stir. And her no-bake Chocolate Ricotta Brick Cake makes one delicious dessert. Join Lidia as she cooks up a trip down memory lane!

What fuels Lidia’s soul are the memories of her loved ones. Today, her Dandelion and Chickpea Salad brings back memories of foraging for this simple nutritious childhood favorite. And sometimes it's the warmth a dish delivers, like her One-Pan Chicken and Eggplant Parmigiana. It’s easy to make while still satisfying that classic craving. Let's cook food that nourishes the body, mind & soul!

Dinner doesn’t have to feel like you’re struggling, just follow Lidia’s lead! First, it’s Kale Salad with Avocado & Pistachios, a best-selling salad at Felidia that became part of Lidia’s family meals at home. Then, Lidia makes her go-to sauce, Marinara, with her grandson, Ethan. And to complete this quick and easy meal, it’s Lidia’s no-mess Cheesy Baked Chicken Wings.

Italians are serious about their celebrations. And Lidia is ready to celebrate, starting with her Winter Panzanella. Then Lidia’s granddaughter stops by to make a Crespelle Bar. A fun and sweet way for guests to finish any meal. Lidia’s mother, Grandma Erminia, was the expert maker of these Farina Gnocchi cooked in a good stock. Like Lidia says, what’s a celebration without lots of good food!

Lidia loves to try new foods and encourages us to do the same! Her grandson, Lorenzo, joins her to make simply sweet Gorgonzola-filled Celery. She continues with a Pumpkin Risotto dish topped with what else but more gorgonzola. Just like her mother made, Lidia cooks Liver Venetian-Style with a mushroom onion sauce. Whether you’ve tried them before or not, Lidia hopes you’ll love these recipes!

It's important to be inclusive at the table, and cook dishes to meet the dietary restrictions of all. Lidia prepares Butternut Squash and Cannellini Beans. Lidia and granddaughter, Julia, make an easy dessert of Strawberries & Balsamic. Whether you’re watching your carbs or gluten-free, Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Spicy Tomato Sauce is the recipe you need!

This meal will bring a smile to any table. Lidia serves up Radicchio, Endive, Apple & Pecorino with Cheese Toasts. The cheese toast adds that extra something to an already colorful dish. To complete the meal, Lidia’s Skillet Ricotta Mini-Meat Loaves, dressed in a mushroom sauce. There’s nothing better than a table full of smiles!

It's nice to treat yourself and your loved ones to something special…and for Lidia, that means lobster night! Grilled Corn, Zucchini, and Tomato Salad is a fun and impressive way to serve veggies. Ethan comes over for a lesson on how to Eat Lobster Like Lidia. Then, it’s Spicy Lobster Linguine. Lidia reminds us that there’s nothing better than spoiling your loved ones and yourself!

The best part about gathering around the table is sharing good food with good company. Grandson Ethan swings by to help Lidia build the ultimate Italian Cheeseboard. Then she cooks up an easy crowd-pleaser Skillet Sausage & Peppers. For a sweet finish, Lidia makes a childhood favorite, St. Joseph’s Zeppole. So tune in to learn how to entertain with showstopping ease the Lidia way!
