Lidia Bastianich, one of the most beloved PBS chefs and cookbook authors in the country, joins us to talk about her new book, Lidia's a Pot, a Pan, and a Bowl: Simple Recipes for Perfect Meals. The book is filled with no-fuss Italian dishes; it’s just the simplicity you need as we approach the biggest cooking holiday of the year. We’ll talk with Lidia about the book—and about Thanksgiving dinner. Are you planning a feast with an Italian accent? Do you need some turkey roasting tips? Join the conversation!

This show was produced by Robyn Doyon-Aitken and Catie Talarski. Our interns are Abē Levine and Dylan Reyes.
