Lidia Celebrates America: Flavors That Define Us

Lidia Celebrates America: Flavors That Define Us Episode 1 | 55m 46s | CC

Chef and Italian immigrant Lidia Bastianich shares stories of first, second and third-generation Americans shaping the shifting definition of what it means to be an American. As America grows more diverse than ever before, immigrants must figure out how much of their culture to keep and what to leave behind, and many are more openly sharing their heritage with a new country they now call home.

Funding for LIDIA CELEBRATES AMERICA is provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
