Fruits and Sweets

Season 8 Episode 824 | 26m 46s | CC

In Lidia’s courtyard, the fruit trees would blossom with flowers in spring. In the summer, it was time to play around the trees and wait for the fruit to ripen. Today, Lidia prepares a Fig and Prosciutto Bruschetta, a delicious combination of sweet and salty. She then transforms wafer cookies into Quick & Easy Truffles. Finally, it’s time for a light and airy Almond Tart from Andria.
