Join her for an Italian Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes with actors Mo Rocca and Stanley Tucci; a Mexican-American Christmas Day with four generations of the Cortez family in San Antonio, Texas; a Chinese New Year feast and celebration with the Fong-Torres family; and a Jewish-American Passover seder with the Russ family of the famed specialty shop Russ and Daughters and food author Ruth Reichl in "Holiday Tables And Traditions."
Lidia explores how other immigrants have preserved their unique culinary traditions for generations, weaving their culture into the fabric of the diverse melting pot of America.
Lidia will live, breathe and experience the country’s diversity through the lens of culture, tradition and mouth-watering food.
As viewers participate in the various ethnic and religious celebrations across the country, it’s clear food is the common denominator that ties all human beings.
“No matter what your religion, or your ethnicity,” Lidia says, “we have the opportunity to celebrate whatever we worship, whoever our families are, and this is something to celebrate: America is something to celebrate.”
