Lidia Bastianich on Instagram: "Lemon Roasted Chicken. There’s nothing like the aroma of a perfectly roasted chicken to bring warmth to the house and the family to the dinner table. This delicious version is flavored with lemon, onions, and rosemary. It’s super simple to prepare, economical - and there is always a little extra for the next day for lunch. Buon Gusto! #LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly #LidiasKitchen #LidiaBastianich #ItalianFood #LidiasTheArtofPasta #LidiasOliveOil"

Lidia Bastianich on Instagram: "Braised Pork Chops with Red Onion, Pears and a Balsamic Reduction. This delicious dish is simple to prepare and has always been a family favorite in my house - as I’m sure it will be in yours as well. #AskLidia -The sugar in the honey helps to caramelize the pork, onion and pears as they oven-braise. It is a technique that works well with other roasted meats and birds as well. Link to full video and recipe in my bio. Buon Gusto! #LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly #Lidias
