Growing Up Lidia
lidia's kitchen

I treasure my childhood. I look back on those meals that shaped who I am today with gratitude. My grandfather always saved the fatty end of the prosciutto for his favorite Prosciutto and Onion Frittata. My brother and I loved to eat these Vegetable Polpette as kids. Coming from the North, we ate this Mushroom Ragu with Greens over Polenta a lot. Sharing my memories and flavors brings me such joy.
