Lidia Bastianich's Family Table

Lidia Bastianich grew up under Tito's communist rule, escaped to
a refugee camp in Trieste and finally made it to New York City,
where she learned to love Spam, Jell-O and Wonder Bread. She
talks about the early years on her grandmother's farm, where she
slept on a corn-husk mattress, ate pig's blood sausage and fresh
fig jam, and realized that the secret to happiness is having
less, not more. Plus, we learn about turkey skin ice cream with
Salt & Straw's Tyler Malek; discuss the ethics of cooking
lobsters; and make molletes. (Originally aired June 14, 2019.)
