Lidia’s Italy: 140 Simple and Delicious Recipes from the Ten Places in Italy Lidia Loves Most

Still waiting for book…was supposed to be delivered 2/5 but still hasn’t showed up. I think it’s in transit because we’ve moved to our FL residence and our mail is being fwded but item was supposed to have been delivered a week before we left. Seller said it would be delivered before we left, so I think it’s in delivery status,…
The book was in excellent shape, but the delivery was very slow. I sent a e-mail to the seller and he said the book was sent out on 12/15, USPS never got the package on that date. They said that the seller generates the tracking number, that doesn’t mean he sent the book out on that date.
If you send something out on the 15th it doesn’t take two more weeks for delivery. Next time tell the truth.

Good but not as good as earlier books. If I wanted a book on Italy I wouldn’t recommend an Italian recipes book.
After watching an episode of the tv series that this book is based on, I ordered two books – one to give as a gift and one for myself. The gift was very well received. Lidia is wonderful to watch, listen to and read, especially if you are nostalgic about your Italian heritage as I am.
