- Join chef Lidia Bastianich as she conjures simple, seasonal, and economical dishes with grace, confidence, and love, teaching viewers to draw on their roots, allow for spontaneity, and cultivate a sense of home in the kitchen.
- Lidia Bastianich journeys through Italy to sample local specialties from Rome, Naples, Padua, Sicily, Trieste and Istria. Back in her US kitchen, the warm and engaging host demonstrates 2 or 3 recipes she encountered during her travels. Throughout the series, friends and family join Lidia in the kitchen. Her daughter Tanya introduces some of Lidia's favorite hidden cultural treasures, while her son Joseph frequently stops by to discuss regional wines.
- Through live action footage, colorful animated sequences and original music, Chef Lidia Bastianich brings the story of her own childhood Christmas traditions in Italy to her five grandchildren here in America today. Instead of the elaborately-decorated Christmas trees and presents of today, Lidia shows her grandchildren how she and her family would bring in a fragrant juniper bush and decorate it with edible ornaments (along with the recipes for those edible ornaments). It is a beautiful message of family traditions, not being wasteful, and appreciating nature.
- An exploration of the Italian influence on American cooking and cultuer that visits many of the nation's Little Italy areas and features third- and fourth- generation Italian-Americans who are putting their twist on authentic recipes.
- Lidia's Family Table emphasizes cooking for the family, and each episode is filled with delicious master recipes for everyday Italian-style feasting and imaginative ideas for variations and improvisations.
