It’s always such a delight to talk to celebrity chef Lidia Bastianich. She is infinitely relatable. Even though she has run restaurants and is partner in Eatalys across the world — she's all about family and home cooking. She's coming to Rhode Island this weekend where she will meet fans and sign her new cookbook Saturday, Dec. 11 from noon to 2 p.m. at Dave’s Fresh Marketplace, 1000 Division Rd., East Greenwich.
"Lidia's A Pot, A Pan, and A Bowl" ($29.95 list price) is on sale now at the store for $20 while supplies last. Lidia said Dave's does a great job selling her books and arranging her book signings. She hasn't been for three years and she's glad to be coming back. "We have so many fans in Rhode Island, it's wonderful," she said.
