Cook the Book: Lidia's Italy

Stuffed whole baked salmon gets raves every time. For Italian I go for lasagna with Italian sausage or fettuccine carbonara. I once made a simple banana pudding at a girls group my daughter was involved with. One teen looked at me with awe and said,"You can do that without instant pudding? I didn't know that was possible.'' You never know, sometimes when I've gone all out no one even notices. I guess it all evens out in the end.
