Simply Lidia
lidia's kitchen

Simplicity reigns in the Italian cuisine, and Lidia is a firm believer that simple cooking is better cooking. In this episode, she prepares an Orecchiette with Breadcrumbs, Pancetta, and Cauliflower recipe that features a medley of flavors and textures that adhere beautifully to the ear-shaped Pugliese pasta. She then makes Crespelle with Wild Cherries, Chocolate & Whipped Cream. Crepes were a favorite childhood recipe of hers. Her Sharing Recipe segment is with Olivia who decided to make her grandmother's Lemon Ice recipe. It's so refreshing!

Episode Duration: 26 minutes and 46 seconds
