I love to watch this woman's program and observe her family as they matured into adults. I love Italian food but I'm not happy to be in the cities she has her restaurants. I wish Lidia and her family continued success and happiness, and I will continue to watch her cook on TV those wonderful Italian meals.
Nah she's not even Italian but italianized Croatian, this woman is lying and reporter is lying even more! Istria was, is and will forever be Croatia with native Croats, Italian fascist will never change that!! Only Croats suffered in Istria and her dear Italians were perpetrators. Croatia will not forgive her for lying and trying to change history, nor would her Croatian ancestors that are prolly turning in their graves every time she opens her mouth blabbing about Italy. She's cooking some of our food trying to sell it as italian, never mentioning Croatia (only when she has to lie about history) and whose food is that truly or who she is truly. This woman is completely delusional and true example of what happens when they destroy your identity! The worst! It's sad, i kinda pity people like her but no excuses in this day and age she should know better!

Lidia and her family visit Kansas City often. She is just as you see her on television. Warm, cheerful, and she treats everyone as Family. She visits for business and she remembers that her business would not be a success without the support of her many fans and followers. She is to be respected as she respects all who come to have a photo taken with her or to seek an autograph for one of her many cookbooks. Lidia has the Knowledge of how to instill her attitude of service to all who work for her. They are serious about Service and they all go out of their way to ensure that each customer receives all that they desire when they visit Lidia's in Kansas City! May God bless her and her family! "Tutti a tavola a mangare!" Wonderful Lady! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
What you are saying just is not true. Whether you like it or not, istrua was a part of italy at some points in history whether it was the republic of Venice or the kingdom of italy. Half a million people do not just leave an area for the sake of it
@@jacoblubic3327 sorry...if we are going to go that far to the past..then all americans are europians first...and should say so when introducing themselves..thats what Lidia is doing...she was born in Yugoslavia..her roots are Italian
@@juricarados9419 --Her roots are Italian? Here is "il decretto" that shows how Lidia's grandfather's surname was changed from Motika to Mattichio. Her grandfather sometime after 1906 moved from Žminj to Pula, and then I guess the famiily grew Italian roots. Btw, Žminj was never under the rule of the Serenissima, it was part of "stato Arciducale", it belonged to the Austrian part of Istria. Speaking of Žminj, in seventeen forties the bishop, who didn't spek Croatian , came to Žminj for a visit . With him he had a priest who spoke Croatian, so he delivered the sermon IN CROATIAN, and also served as the interpreter, because hardly any of the parishoners there knew Italian. -N. 1151 M.

Lidia I enjoyed you and your cooking shows on PBS and your sweet mother I just heard about your mother's passing and I'm so sorry my condolsent to you and your family she will be missed to me Italian food and people the best. ❤
Refreshing to see a person who immigrates legally and is bringing the best from their homeland while still being able to assimilate into their new home country. They learn the language. Don't depend on government handouts while American citizens struggle with having food and financial stability. They work hard and stay out of trouble. These kind are the immigrants that make America the beautiful melting pot of peoples.
Rebecca It's Primarily US born people who are the lazy, let's get/take what we can from the Government.

Lmao what homeland, she's pretending that she's from Italy when she's from Croatia and is Croat but italianized!!! She's lying that Istria is Italy when in fact it's Croatia and was only for small amount of time part of fascist Italy! I wouldn't care for her if she only pretended to be italian but she's straight up lying about Croatian history and suffering of our people in fascist Italy, she's trying so damn hard to make Italians seem like victims when they were the perpetrators! The delusion!!!!!This woman Croat ancestors must be turning in their graves!! Croatians will never forget, they still want to take our Istria, nor will we forgive those that falsify our history! She's cooking some of our food and selling it as if it's italian, never mentioning Croatia and spitting on our Croatian ancestors, she should be ashamed of herself!
In those lands you could easily find italian speaking people with croatian surnames and viceversa, many were mixed and bilingual. Her family mainly spoke/identified as italian. Some croats with italian surnames: Ivo Raffanelli, Emil Tedeschi, Juraj Biankini (real name was Giorgio Bianchini), Vladimir Gortan, Ivo Tartaglia, Vlaho Bukovac (real name was Biagio Faggioni) Vicko Garbati, Juraj Rossini...
I bet Bastianich will soon "discover" her Croatian roots as Croatia becoming next big thing. Istria especial, as her big business opportunity. face it, she is not real Italian and entire life is monetizing her "italianness". last name finishing on "ich" is typical for Slaves. Also her maiden name "Matticchio" is actually croatian name "Motika", grandparents last names Lovrečić (chich), Pavičevac (Pavichevac), Smilović (ich), Karlić (ich), Lukšić (ich) - all croatians. there is no problem declaring your nationality at all but when you promoting (selling) traditional and national and not being true about your self is patethic.

I recently read Lidia’s memoirs. She’s a much tougher cookie than the warm and fuzzy grandma she portrays on tv. I guess that’s admirable since she’s such a huge success. But underneath the facade is an iron will, and you wouldn’t want to cross her. Btw, her ex-husband’s name is pronounced Feh-LEE-cheh, not Felice!

What do you think about Lidia Bastianich's story?
I think she sounds like a dork for referring to herself in the third person!
RIP Grandma. I loved their relationship.
BEEN WATCHING A LONG TIME. She makes it look do easy and her style is welcoming
I love Lidia, she's a great inspiration. I haven't seen her son Joe lately.

For my money, she is one of the most endearing food presenters. She just exudes being a lovely person. I wish her well! :D
I love her recipes, I’ve created a few of them, they’re usually very simple but very delicious.
Love Lidia!

I started with Graham Kerr. He was the best in the 70s and 80s.
I loved his TV show! That must have been a great experience for you. I hope.
I think Julia Child pre-dated Kerr.
Wonderful story. I have been at two restaurants in nyc several times
What happened to the Pittsburgh location?
74. Shes looks 60. Pretty lady that took care of herself.
Congratulations! 🎉

She isn’t a true Italian she is from istria and needs to stop pretending

And she films in front of a giant green screen at NBC Universal Studios in Stamford CT. The food maybe real, but Lidia’s actual kitchen isn’t…
