UPCOMING PROGRAMS

Life, Love, Family, and Food: A Digital Author Talk with Lidia Bastianich
Thurs., Sept. 7 at 7:00 p.m.

You’re invited to an intimate virtual chat with award-winning television host and bestselling author Lidia Bastianich as she talks about her memoir, My American Dream: A Life of Love, Family, and Food. Born on the Istrian peninsula, Lidia grew up surrounded by love and security, learning the art of Italian cooking from her beloved grandmother. But when a communist regime annexed Istria, her family fled, spending two years in a refugee camp waiting for visas to enter the United States. Heartwarming, deeply personal, and powerfully inspiring, My American Dream is the story of Bastianich’s close-knit family and her dedication and endless passion for food. This talk is produced in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium.
