Trieste’s International Flavors

Season 8 Episode 807 | 26m 46s | CC

The city of Trieste always filled Lidia with excitement, even though she had to flee there to avoid the communist regime in her hometown of Pula. She and her family stayed with her Zia Nina, whose influence on Lidia’s cooking is still seen in her recipes today. Recipes include Mussels Triestina, Orange & Raspberry Spritz, and a Coffee Panna Cotta made with a light, sweetened cream.
