Throughout her numerous cookbooks, cooking shows, and interviews, Bastianich has shared many tips over the years to help Italian-loving home cooks capture the ethos of Italian cooking at home. From the essential ingredient that your risotto should never be without to choosing the best canned tomatoes for your marinara sauce,"
Lidia Bastianich immigrated from Italy at age 12 and champions Italian gastronomy in the U.S. Her cooking philosophy relies on practical tips that help home cooks make easy, flavorful dishes. She emphasizes ingredient-driven techniques to reduce overwhelm and maximize natural flavors. For risotto, always add a generous splash of white wine after toasting the rice so the kernels absorb the wine; the wine balances the rice with flavor and acidity, releasing aroma and a satisfying sizzle as it cooks. Practical guidance also covers choosing quality canned tomatoes for marinara and other simple tricks to improve home Italian cooking.
