The Power of Food, as told by Lidia Maticchio Bastianich

"I have always believed that food has the power to change the way we see things around us; it holds the key to our past, present, and ultimately, our future as individuals, a community, and a nation."

-- Lidia Maticchio Bastianich, in the foreword to "New American Table," by Marcus Samuelsson (Wiley, 2009)
