Iconic TV chef Lidia Bastianich files an all-Italian food diary for New York magazine’s Grub Street blog. Let’s start with day one.

Saturday, October 4
In the morning I had coffee, whole-wheat toast with jam, and yogurt with blueberries and honey.

My mother lives with me, and my daughter Tanya Corrado and her family [children Lorenzo and Julia] lives down the block, so Grandma Erminia and I always cook Saturday lunch. Saturday is such a busy day for young moms with the soccer, gymnastics, haircuts, so we give her the luxury and have lunch ready. Lorenzo’s request is pan-roasted chicken with golden-brown potatoes, and Julia loves her chicken soup with pastina. We had spinach with garlic, broccoli with garlic, red cabbage, some Bastianich Tocai, and a tasting of chocolate.

When I came home from working at Felidia, I just had a baccalà sandwich. I toasted some Italian crusty bread and spread the baccalà I took out of the fridge, which warmed it to room temperature. I watched CNN and sipped a glass of Tocai Bastianich with a few almonds and had a pear.

On Sunday, October 12, you can join Bastianich, restaurateur Donatella Arpaia (the only female judge on TV’s Iron Chef) and food historian Francine Segan for an evening of Mangia! Italian Women, Restaurants and Cuisine.
